“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!”

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

“The dripping blood our only drink,The bloody flesh our only food:In spite of which we like to thinkThat we are sound, substantial flesh and blood--Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.”

“...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.”

“Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin.”
