Episode notes
Covenant: Love And Law United
- A covenant blends deep personal intimacy and binding legal obligation into one relationship.
- It commits both parties to faithful love regardless of changing circumstances.
Consumer Versus Covenant Relationships
- Modern relationships often act like consumer contracts based on mutual utility.
- Covenants require each party to commit regardless of the other's current performance.
Choose Relationship Types Wisely
- Reserve covenantal commitment for relationships that warrant lifelong fidelity, like marriage and parenthood.
- Use consumer-style relationships for transactional roles such as stores and services.
