Top Highlights
“The way not to grow weary and lose heart in your marriage is to keep your eye on the goal. Stay focused on Jesus, our goal, our sustainer, our Savior.” (source)
“On the day of our wedding we had a goal: to draw closer to each other and closer to God. Too many times, though, the weight of home responsibilities, work pressures, kid worries, and all the rest fog our vision for closeness. Spiritually speaking, everyone has foggy days. But God is there to say to us in His quiet, persistent voice, ‘Don’t quit. Persevere. Do all you can to keep your eyes focused on the prize.” (source)
“very couple has a choice to lean on God and not their own understanding” (source)
“ place your life and marriage into the loving arms of God.” (source)
