Riddle me this:
Two Christian…with two different backgrounds, with two different ways of interpreting their faith and religion, with two different perspectives of relationship…start dating. How much conflict will they encounter over how they should practice their ONE Christian faith?
And thus belies the struggle among dating and engaged couples who share the same faith…but have different beliefs on how their shared faith should be practiced.

Watch this video to avoid the common mistakes couples make concerning their shared faith and learn how to create a God-centered relationship your both can agree on.
