In this special edition of the Asking For A Friend Podcast, Duffey interviews one Kyle (a BBC elder) and Natalie Slaymaker on the topic "Marriage and Valentine's Day." They discuss things like:
- Is Valentine's Day something that Christians should embrace or avoid?
- How should Christians think about this day?
- Is it important for a healthy marriage?
- What is important for a healthy marriage?
- How do we navigate cultural holidays from biblical perspective?
With laughter and personal stories, this episode is aimed at encouragement to all married couples striving to make much of Christ in a culture that rejects Him. For Christian couples, our marriages should testify to the world of our unwaivering commitement to Jesus Christ who is our Head (Eph. 5).
