Love That Lasts
A Christ-Centered Guide to Relationships
Relationships are one of the greatest gifts God has given us, but they can also be one of the most challenging aspects of life. Whether you’re navigating friendships, dating, engagement, or healing from past relationships, the journey isn’t always clear. How do you know when you’re ready to date? How can you tell the difference between infatuation and real love? What role does faith play in a healthy relationship?
As Adventist young professionals, it is important that our relationships are built on more than emotions—they should be rooted in faith, wisdom, and purpose. That’s why AYP created Love That Lasts: A Christ-Centered Guide to Relationships, a seven-part study guide designed to help you build meaningful, God-honoring relationships.
Each study in this series explores a key aspect of relationships, offering biblical insights, practical steps, and reflection questions to help you grow. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or healing from the past, this series will provide tools to strengthen your faith and relationships.
We invite you to read, reflect, and apply these principles to your life. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or encouragement, know that God has a plan for your relationships—and He is faithful to guide you every step of the way.
