The second part of Dr Ed Wheat's marriage counselling discusses the biblical foundation for a successful marriage, emphasising that God intends for spouses to have an absorbing physical, emotional, and spiritual attraction that grows over time.

The talk delves into five types of love, using Greek terms: epitheia (sexual desire), aeros (romantic love), stoay (family affection/loyalty), fileo (friendship/sharing), and the essential, unconditional agape love (self-giving commitment).
Wheat provides practical advice for husbands and wives on nurturing these loves, particularly focusing on intimacy and response in the sexual relationship, and offers a four-part "prescription" for a superb marriage: blessing, edifying, sharing, and touching, drawing heavily on the Song of Solomon as a marital model.
The core purpose is to demonstrate that romantic, lifelong love is achievable through understanding and following God's design, which begins with a choice of the will to love unconditionally.
