By Robert Eberline

In Part 1 of this article, I explored dating from a single’s perspective.  In Part 2, I’ll delve into the minds of married couples for their input on this subject.  As far as married couples go, Rebecca hit the proverbial nail on the head. She said, “An integral part of a successful marriage is your faith. Believing in God, amplifies your faith an infinite number of times.
