It's a time for us to take counsel from God rather than give him counsel about all the things we think he ought to be doing.

This work of the Lord is indeed great and marvelous, but it moves forward essentially unnoticed by many of mankind's political, cultural, and academic leaders. It progresses one heart and one family at a time, silently and unobtrusively, its sacred message blessing people everywhere.

Marriage is a gift from God to us; the quality of our marriages is a gift from us to Him.

Further, bearing up under our own burdens can help us develop a reservoir of empathy for the problems others face.

There will always be a spiritual light that beckons to us, giving us the hope of rescue and relief.

Terrific marriages are completely respectful, transparent and loyal.

Faith is the foundation of every virtue that strengthens marriage.
