Flirting and Wedding Vows

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
About this episode

Flirting might seem harmless. But, it's dangerous to flirt with someone who isn't your spouse. Jerry Jenkins tells Jim Daly a poignant story of how flirting led to an affair with a couple he knew at church. He'll also discuss importance of keeping your wedding vows. Then, John and the Smalley's encourage you to remember and think about your wedding vows, even if you've been married for a long time.
