“A Christian is never dependent on the response of others to grow spiritually. It's our own heart's decisions that matter”

“I wouldn't be surprised if many marriages end in divorce largely because one or both partners are running from their own revealed weaknesses as much as they are running from something they can't tolerate in their spouse.”

“Any mature, spiritually sensitive view of marriage must be built on the foundation of mature love rather than romanticism. But this immediately casts us into a countercultural pursuit.”

“Couples don't fall out of love so much as they fall out of repentance.”

“We bring nothing to God, and He gives us everything.”

“Life is short. And when all is said and done, our relationships with Jesus Christ and each other are the only things that will matter.”

“Today I've made a major decision. I'm never going to die.”
