A good marriage isn't something you find; it's something you make.

Couples don't fall out of love so much as they fall out of repentance.

We bring nothing to God, and He gives us everything.

Fear is intensified by passionate love. The more I care about someone, the more I'm concerned about their welfare. The less we have to lose, in one sense, the easier it is to be "brave."

A defeatist attitude kills almost as many marriages as do affairs.

Any mature, spiritually sensitive view of marriage must be built on the foundation of mature love rather than romanticism. But this immediately casts us into a countercultural pursuit.

Christian love must be chased after, aspired to, and practiced.

A Christian is never dependent on the response of others to grow spiritually. It's our own heart's decisions that matter

Done well, marital sexuality can be a supremely healing experience.

The older I get the more I realize that a significant portion of a parent's happiness or sadness in middle-age will be directly impacted by how closely our children are walking with the Lord.

Having children made me confront my true fears and trust in God many times over in a much more intensified manner.

I’m planting a tree to teach me to make the world a better place.

Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw, " that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature?

Smells, I think, may be the last thing on earth to die.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

My family vacations were softball tournaments.

I seem to remember even from when I was very young that when you loved someone you also hated them for making you love them, since loving someone is so incredibly humiliating.

I want to be one who has to throw the big game.

For me, family always comes first I would do anything to protect them.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything.
