THE TWO THINGS AT WAR IN A MAN ARE LOVE AND LUST.
People today are struggling in relationships.
With social media, there are so many options.
Everything looks fresh and new and interesting.
Why would anyone be happy with just one person?
But when you’re constantly searching for the next best thing, you feel empty. You lack peace and satisfaction. And you miss out on what life is all about: love.
We have to practice discipline in dating in order to give and receive love.
