Pastor Mark here, welcome back to the Real Marriage podcast.

If you haven't heard, we've got a brand new book.

My wife, Grace and I, called Real Romance.

It's about sex in The Song of Songs.

It's releasing in February. and here's the big idea. My wife, Grace, and I, we have been teaching on marriage for a long time,

and the thing that was most popular was the Song of Solomon many years ago. And we have brought

That's real romancebook.com.
