Soul to Sole

About this episode

Dr. Steve Wilkey interviews Gary Thomas about the concept of Soul to Sole (S.O.U.L. to S.O.L.E.). Thomas challenges the popular cultural belief in a singular "soulmate," noting that this notion often leads to unrealistic expectations in marriage. He advocates that committed love, not romantic high, is the foundation of a lasting relationship, quoting a Bono lyric: "I could never take a chance of risking love to find romance". He reiterates the subtitle of his book Sacred Marriage: God designed marriage to make us holy, not happy.
