Marriage
Well, don't just pray to marry the one you love. Instead, pray to love the one you marry.
When your goal is to build people up, to make them feel better, to share in their joy, you too reap the rewards of their positive feelings. The next time you have the chance to correct someone, even if their facts are a little off, resist the temptation. Instead, ask yourself, "What do I really want out of this interaction?" Chances are, what you want is a peaceful interaction where all parties leave feeling good. Each time you resist “being right,” and instead choose kindness, you'll notice a peaceful feeling within.
The secret of a happy marriage is simple--just keep on being as polite to one another as you are to your friends.
A marriage may be made in heaven, but the maintenance must be done on earth.
Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint.
Marriage is not just spiritual communion and passionate embraces; marriage is also three meals a day, sharing the workload and remembering to carry out the trash.
God didn't say that a woman was to be taken from a bone in the man's head that she should rule over him, nor from a bone in his foot that she should be trampled under his feet, but from the bone in his side, to be his companion, his equal, and his helpmeet in all their lives together.
Don't over-analyze your marriage. That's like yanking up a fragile indoor plant every 20 minutes to see how its roots are growing. |
