Hey everyone, we're so glad you're here with us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

Rick is sharing biblical wisdom that we need to have great relationships.

And let's admit it, we can all use that.

Well, right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with part two of a message called Finding the Love of Your Life.

Second must have. Not only do we have spiritual unity, that's still not enough.

Number two, oh by the way, somebody says, what if I'm already married to an unbeliever?

You love them and you pray that they find Christ.

That's what you do.

Now, the second non-negotiable in choosing a life partner.

We must have not only spiritual unity, number two, we must have life purpose compatibility.

Life purpose compatibility.

In other words, we have to be headed in the same direction for the same reason, for the same

purpose in life.

Now the Bible says this in Amos 3, verse 3.

Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?

Well, the obvious answer is no.

You can't want to walk that way and I want

to walk this way and we walk together. Now, if two people can't walk together without a same

purpose, how in the world do we think we're going to live together in intimacy? It isn't

going to happen. The marriage is going to fall apart. The marriage will not last.

If you have a purpose for your life that's that way, and I have a purpose for my life,

and it's that way, it's not going to last.
