Passionate, romantic love has become a kind of idol worship in our culture, leading many to feel unsatisfied, lonely, and without real love in their lives. Trouble is, the unrealistic expectations we've placed on marriage or other romantic relationships is causing us to struggle in our pursuit of true, enduring love with a spouse and to lose our focus on the Source of that deep and abiding Love which is only found in God.

In this Still Rowing Short, host Tara McCausland quotes from Sister Susan Porter's excellent 2021 conference talk "God's Love: The Most Joyous to the Soul" and shares why God's love is the "most desirable above all things" and what we can do to better feel divine love in our lives.
