Deciding Who To Share Your Life With (Q&A)
Every life is a picture of decisions made here and there, whether right or otherwise; some more impacting than others. This implies that informed decisions-making is paramount to achieving victory in life.
Joyce Da’Costa has tackled a number of crucial questions relating to the critical process of making the choice of a future marriage partner, by applying personal experiences, anecdotes, and the word of God. A choice as important as being next to salvation in weight, is worth all the attention it deserves.
“As much as attraction to each other is important, it MUST not be misunderstood for love. True love is a decision. I’ll keep it one hundred, love is expressed both in words and in action. Period.”
Excerpt from “You Choose”
