Things can move quickly in romantic relationships leading to intense feelings and quick attachment but ending in misunderstanding, hurt feelings or worse. We will be taking a look at relational escalators that rapidly move relationships toward commitment. How can we identify and manage these powerful desires? The ancient writers of Proverbs suggest the answer is to learn to monitor our words and actions by the power of the Holy Spirit.
