A Season of Intentional Love: A Sweet Christian Romance

Newly married and still learning.

Lauren Thompson thought marrying the man she loved would be the hard part. But when her honeymoon ends and real life begins—complete with a new job in Willow Springs and a summer spent living an hour away from her husband—she quickly realizes that love doesn’t just happen. It’s chosen. Daily.

Ethan Green has always been steady, dependable, and devoted. But balancing his responsibilities as athletic director while navigating the early days of marriage from a distance isn’t easy. Late-night phone calls and weekend visits will have to be enough… for now.

Back in Willow Springs, Betty Thompson is discovering that love later in life requires courage too. As her own relationship deepens, she reminds Lauren that strong marriages aren’t built on grand gestures—but on quiet faithfulness.

In a season of change, distance, and new beginnings, Lauren and Ethan must learn that intentional love—rooted in patience, prayer, and promise—can carry them through anything.

Because sometimes the sweetest seasons aren’t rushed… they’re chosen.
