Sex is the joining of two bodies; love is the joining of two souls.

Sometimes when the spouse is really the culprit, it is hard to admit what you consider your little failures, but if you are going to have a better relationship, you admitting your part in the dynamics is a step in the road to healing. Because if they see you modeling apology, for example, and they see you modeling love, they may well get the idea that maybe they need to apologize.

Something in our nature cries out to be loved by another. Isolation is devastating to the human psyche. That is why solitary confinement is considered the cruelest of punishments.

Most of us have more potential than we will ever develop. What holds us back is often a lack of courage.

What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage.

We all desperately need love. If a spouse in a difficult marriage will learn the love language of that spouse, and they will, with the help of God, consistently speak their love language no matter how they are treated.

You cannot force someone to accept an expression of love. You can only offer it. If it is not accepted, you must respect the other person's decision.
