A Cup of Comfort for Couples | REDBOOK Story Contest
 . . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
I Corinthians 13
 
Love is central to our lives. One of the great journeys we take is the search for that special someone. We have all experienced the initial butterflies when we fall in love, the deepening of that affection as we pass the years together, and the challenges that couples go through as life, well, happens. This quest is exhilarating, profound, and full of sincere and honest stories. Which Cup of Comfort and REDBOOK would love to hear.
