In this podcast, I talk about a principle that, when ignored, causes relationships to fail. Understanding that in creation, we are not made to have dominion over any one person means that if we do not value, respect, or revere each other along with their gifts, we are heading toward a failed or unhealthy relationship. Genesis 1: 26-31, Outlines the original plan for the creation of man; therefore, it is a fundamental principle in relationships to maintain that no one person will be in the head position forever. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-couples-journey/support
