HYPOTENSIVE or hypertensive- what’s your love pressure?
I remember my first lessons on the circulatory system, I was told that the average man has a blood pressure of 120/70 with a +/- factor, and anything else outside this is termed as hypo- or hypertension.
I usually say 'romance is the life-giving blood that fuels a healthy marital relationship'.
So tell me, WHAT'S YOUR ROMANTIC BLOOD PRESSURE?
Have you checked it out lately?
Are you hypotensive, normal, or hypertensive?
Not Enough------- Denial
As God intends ---1 Cor 13: 4-7
Unhealthy ———Obsession
