Nothing happens without waiting. The seed in the ground does not become a tree overnight. It goes through seasons, nurturing, watering, pruning before it bears fruit.

As women, our ability to multitask can be a blessing, but it becomes a huge liability when we take on too much and then use our busyness as an excuse to get out of our intimacy responsibilities.

If you want a happy Christ-centered marriage, you must be centered in Christ!

It's all right to have expectations in marriage. Just remember to keep them at the feet of Jesus, not at the feet of your spouse

God is more interested in restoring our hearts to Him, than giving us a happy marriage.

Marriage is meant to keep people together not just when things are good, but particularly when they are not. That's why we take marriage vows - not wishes

Marriage cannot thrive on left-over attention, it has to get your best effort!

God created a woman to be the keeper of her home. She sets the tone, and where her mind and heart goes, her home and marriage tend to follow.

Our level of appreciation shows in how we treat our husband. If he__ first in our minds, he__l be first in our priorities. If he__ indeed special, you pursue him, initiate intimacy, and go out of your way to make him cherished.

Happiness in marriage is a choice you have to make: fight for, protect, pursue. It doesn't happen to you, you make it happen.

Always remember: marriage is a gift. Allow the revelation to direct your thoughts and habits in marriage.

Your husband is not responsible for your happiness

Positivity is good, but positivity that is rooted in God is power

God wants me to love my husband the way he is today, not the way he will be tomorrow. I have to stop with my expectations and just let God be God. His job is to change my husband, my job is to love my husband, right where he is.

In marriage, God rarely starts with the issues on the table. He starts with the ones in our hearts

What if, in the bigger scheme of things, God put the yearning and desire for our husbands, not so a man could fulfill all of it, but so we could catch a glimpse of what it means to fully and wholly yearn for God?

God has a passion for brand new beginnings.

Dear newlywed wife, somebody out there is determined to shape your view of intimacy and marriage. You get to choose who will shape your opinion; the Author of marriage or offended humans?
