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

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

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

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

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

  • Being married for a mission can revitalize a lot of marriages in which the partners think they suffer from a lack of compatibility; my suspicion is that many of these couples actually suffer from a lack of purpose.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • I wouldn't be surprised if many marriages end in divorce largely because one or both partners are running from their own revealed weaknesses as much as they are running from something they can't tolerate in their spouse.
