A Different Kind of Love: Healthy Attraction 
Pastor Blake Hanson | 2.2.25 

1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)

9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR AND DEVELOP IN YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS…

1)Godly . 

Song of Solomon 1:2–3 (NLT)

2 Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine. 

3How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you!

2) Growing  

Song of Solomon 1:5–6 (NLT)

5 I am dark but beautiful, O women of Jerusalem— dark as the tents of Kedar, dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents. 

6 Don’t stare at me because I am dark— the sun has darkened my skin. My brothers were angry with me; they forced me to care for their vineyards, so I couldn’t care for myself—my own vineyard.

3) Higher  

Song of Solomon 1:7 (NLT)

7 Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today? Where will you rest your sheep at noon? For why should I wander like a prostitute among your friends and their flocks?

Two Options for Standards

2. Settle for the standards

15 How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.

Song of Solomon 1:16 (NLT)

16 You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words! The soft grass is our bed;
