The Bridge Between Us Dr Rick D Merritt

In a world flooded with distresses like divorce, father absence, rampant sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression, there seems to be an epidemic of escapism through drugs, alcohol, consumerism, sex, violence, and suicide.




What if

Our differences aren't meant to alienate us

But they are meant to bring us closer together




What if

We discover we're really not that different

But we all have the same universal needs

Love, Acceptance, Approval,

Communication, and Touch




I Believe

We can have by cultivation; a deeper spiritual, sexual,

and emotional intimacy in marriage that evolves

over the course of a lifetime.




I Believe

Life-long marital satisfaction requires that

two committed people have purposed in their hearts

to have a great marriage, and never give up

on the grace of God to see it through.
