The first...

Welcome to Mighty Flame Love! 

The foundation and inspiration for this blog are the following verses:

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned." - Song of Songs 8:6-7

That strong, unyielding, mighty, unquenchable L.O.V.E is hard to find in today's world. My hope is that in reading this blog, you'll come to a better understanding of what that love is, how to find it, and how to live it.

Here's the deal: I care A LOT about love and marriage. Both have been so polluted by "the media" and "society" and "our own personal baggage" that people today are scared. They are scared to love, scared to commit, scared to be vulnerable, scared to trust, and scared to get married. If they do overcome those fears, they are confused about how to love well and how to have an amazing marriage. 

Who can blame them?! It's not like information about lasting love or amazing marriages is easy to come by...it's so much easier to find resources that bash love, make it into a game, and show marriage as a ball and chain of lots of hard work that may or may not work out.

The saddest part is...at least half of marriages *don't* work out. We are all engaged in a battle for love, like it or not, and right now...we are losing.

I am here to change that. 
*I want to see the divorce rate plummet. 
*I want to see lasting, thriving, F.U.N, sustaining, and sustainable marriages arise out of a real love between two people. 
*I want to see children born into homes with two parents who love one another and who are building the family upon that strong foundation.
*I want to see a paradigm shift in how we live out, talk about, and support one another in love and marriage.

Are you ready to join me on this adventure of learning about and living out radical love? I hope you are! Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon here at Mighty Flame Love.
