Gary Thomas quotes:

Never look to other couples to measure your worth; look to God to fulfill your call. Don't compare yourself with other couples to measure your happiness; compare your obedience with God's design on your life to measure your faithfulness.

Aside from the straightforwardly visible curriculum, there is the hidden curriculum. This exists in the wider set of beliefs and values pupils acquire because of the way that a school is run and its teaching organized. It is about the behaviour of the teachers, the textbooks chosen, the school rules.

If we accept that the love of praise is a sin, that the lust to be known and appreciated by others is not just a fool's errandbut perhaps evidence of a heart focused on the wrong things, our marriages will be transformed.

I am dedicated to the preservation of my marriage's unity.

Never look to other couples to measure your worth; look to God to fulfill your call.

Marriage isn't about rights as much as it is about revelation.

We learn to love imperfect people by serving them out of reverence for a perfect God

What is more likely to lead to true marital satisfaction-getting a fallen spouse to change his or her ways, or changing your own focus so that you draw affirmation from a God who never disappoints, never turns you away?

We are most happy when we are most focused on serving God together.
