marriage

All the beaches of the world, could never amount to, nor implore the one grain of sand that I stand on, which is your love.

Love may start out as a good feeling, but to love someone long-term is an act of the will.

Young man, the fact that she did not accept your proposal for a relationship does not define why you should hate her. She may not become your BRIDE, but she can be the BRIDGE you have to cross to the other side with your dreams!

Value your wife by valuing what she says.

Not every person wants the prettiest, smartest, talented or spiritually uplifting person to build a life with. Sometimes we just want that special someone that makes sense, puts up with us, has patience, comes without drama, gives us focus and is willing to run with our half-baked ideas.

Couples often live out years of falsehood trying to protect and save a relationship, all the while destroying any chance of real relationship.

Whenever there is a conflict between pink and blue, let the pink win. Happiness is more important then colors.

Your wife is your life. Don't let strife thrive in your union.

As we grow in our family_ let__ not forget that we, as a couple, still need attention_ let__ not lose grip of the excitement of our flirtation and our passion for each other_ while we tend to the 'we,' let__ not forget the 'us'.

A man who lives with his wife is safer and more venerable than a man who lives with a tramp.

You cannot enjoy true love in relationship if you don't add honest flavours to it. You can genuinely maintain what you can sincerely entertain!

A large proportion of mankind, like pigeons and partridges, on reaching maturity, having passed through a period of playfulness or promiscuity, establish what they hope and expect will be a permanent and fertile mating relationship. This we call marriage.

Marriage is never static. There are peaks and troughs, cycles. It is easy to forget that this shifting landscape is really only ever a reflection of the self. Our capacity for attachment determines the kind of mate we attract, and it is through this mate that we are forever transformed _ marriage as alchemy, but also as a mirror.

There are lots of real reasons to decide to leave something or someone, but there are lots of other reasons that are less valid and less real and less about a relationship than our own minds: Fear (of screwing up, of being left, of not being good enough), restlessness, resistance to growing up, PMS, not knowing how to live without drama, fearing that you're getting happy, and happiness is boring. The thing that scared me the most was the knowledge that if I stayed, something was going to change, and that something was probably me. I didn't know what changed me would look like, or if I would like her more or less than I already did. Would I still recognize myself? Would I still be myself?

Make it your goal to employ the sweet speech that marks you as a wife after God's own heart.

A relationship that violates values is simply headed for crisis.

Just like the way you date in relationship and become convinced before you give a partner your heart, you got to date your PASTOR to know he can be your MENTOR before you give him your ears! Test the Spirits...and don't be a religious fanatic!

Repentance is the first step on the path back to your relationship with God.
