“Nothing happens without waiting. The seed in the ground does not become a tree overnight. It goes through seasons, nurturing, watering, pruning before it bears fruit.”

“Always remember: marriage is a gift. Allow the revelation to direct your thoughts and habits in marriage.”

“God has a passion for brand new beginnings.”

“Happiness in marriage is a choice you have to make: fight for, protect, pursue. It doesn't happen to you, you make it happen.”

“Sexual intimacy is a relationship, not just body parts coming together. The more comfortable you are with each other outside the bedroom; the easier it is to relax and the sweeter the intimacy!”

“Marriage cannot thrive on left-over attention, it has to get your best effort!”

“God is more interested in restoring our hearts to Him, than giving us a happy marriage.”

“Dear newlywed wife, somebody out there is determined to shape your view of intimacy and marriage. You get to choose who will shape your opinion; the Author of marriage or offended humans?”

“Our level of appreciation shows in how we treat our husband. If he’s first in our minds, he’ll be first in our priorities. If he’s indeed special, you pursue him, initiate intimacy, and go out of your way to make him cherished.”

“What if, in the bigger scheme of things, God put the yearning and desire for our husbands, not so a man could fulfill all of it, but so we could catch a glimpse of what it means to fully and wholly yearn for God?”

“It's all right to have expectations in marriage. Just remember to keep them at the feet of Jesus, not at the feet of your spouse”

“Don't treat your husband the way he deserves, but as Christ expects.”

“A spouse who refuses to cultivate or fan physical intimacy first devalued the marriage in their mind and priorities. Spouses who defile their marriage bed first lost honor for their marriage.”

“God created a woman to be the keeper of her home. She sets the tone, and where her mind and heart goes, her home and marriage tend to follow.”

“Marriage is meant to keep people together not just when things are good, but particularly when they are not. That's why we take marriage vows - not wishes”

“A happy marriage is a personal choice. The same way you decide to GET married? It's the same way you decide to STAY happily married!”

“As women, our ability to multitask can be a blessing, but it becomes a huge liability when we take on too much and then use our busyness as an excuse to get out of our intimacy responsibilities.”

“If you want a happy Christ-centered marriage, you must be centered in Christ!”
