Don't treat your husband the way he deserves, but as Christ expects.

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

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

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

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

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

A happy marriage is a personal choice. The same way you decide to GET married? It's the same way you decide to STAY happily married!

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

Your husband is not responsible for your happiness

Patriotism. I'm uncomfortable with any word that starts with a pat, ends in an ism and has a riot in the middle.

The most effective missionsries always act out of love

Maybe all crows were just creepy.

How happy is the Optimist / To whom life shows its sunny side / His horse may lose, his ship may list, / But he always sees the funny side.

Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture.
