MARRIAGE
 
Two are better than one; because they
have a good reward for their labour
(Ecc.4:9).
The most important thing in a
marriage is for both to have faith in God & Jesus
Christ! When you have faith, everything is possible!
Behind every great man, there's a great little woman who
helps make him that way, his helpmeet.
Man may be the head, but the woman is often the neck that
turns it.
Remember what the guy asked his wife? He said, "How
come God made you women so beautiful & yet so
dumb?" Remember her wise answer? "Beautiful
enough so you'll want to marry us, & dumb enough for
us to marry you!"
A wife is someone cherished in a very special way,
Who puts the joy in living with her sweetness day by day.
A wife is someone close enough to really understand,
To inspire & to encourage & to lend a helping
hand.
A wife is one who makes a home a happy place for all.
Who shows her special thoughtfulness in ways both big
& small.
A wife is someone wonderful who always has smile,
Who keeps her husband happy & makes his life
worthwhile.
Remind yourself of all the good qualities of your mate
& try not to think about the bad ones.
In the building business they say: Two men can do three
times as much work as one man. God's principle is that
two can do ten times as much as one! "One can chase
a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight!"
(De.32:30.)
How else can two become one, more than in one child?
His Spirit cures both impotency and frigidity in His
bride.
Without good communication with your Lord there cannot be
much good communication between you.
One of the greatest assets to a good marriage is honesty,
along with a sense of humour!
If you want to learn something about unselfishness,
humility and sharing, just get married!
The husband is really the boss when it comes to the
natural family, & God's Word clearly says that women
should obey their husbands.
Phil.4:8 applies to your mate as well. Try to remind
yourself constantly of his or her good qualities, the
good things, & try not to think about the bad things.
Any woman who
will give her man anything he wants, including another
woman, really loves him!
Behind every great man there's a great woman. A woman can
make or break a man.
If you want to leave your mate simply because there is
something about them you don't like, you're going to want
to leave every mate you ever get, because there's bound
to be something you don't like about each one.
There's
somebody for everybody!
Compliment her! Tell her she's beautiful and she'll be
beautiful! Tell her she's wonderful and she'll be
wonderful!
Any man who thinks he is more intelligent than his wife
is married to a smart woman.
No matter how orderly a woman is by nature, it is a
mistake for her to always be putting her husband in his
place.
The only cure for a lost love is a new love.
There are two periods in a man's life when he doesn't
understand women--before marriage & after marriage.
A marriage is a witness, like a baptism. The circle of
the ring is a symbol of eternal verity & the gold a
symbol of lasting value.
Marriage is the most intimate, humbling, loving, and
self-sacrificial relationship between human beings.
It's hard to love someone you don't respect or admire for
something.
Say "I
love you" a hundred times a day!
The word "engagement" has two meanings: in war
it's a battle, in courtship it's surrender.
Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of
marrying the whole girl.
One of the mysteries of life is how the boy who wasn't
good enough to marry the daughter, can be the father of
the smartest grandchild in the world.
Marriage is a sexual relationship, or you could have
simple stayed good friends.
A woman
worries about the future until she gets a husband, while
a man never worries about the future until he gets a
wife.
Success in marriage is much more than finding the right
person!--It is a matter of being the right person!
People wouldn't get divorced for such trivial reasons if
they didn't get married for such trivial reasons.
A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy,
& another woman often makes a fool of him in twenty
minutes.
The trouble in marriage often starts when the man is so
busy earning his salt that he forgets his honey.
Every man needs a wife: Many things go wrong that can't
be blamed on the government.
Don't judge your wife too harshly for her weaknesses. If
she didn't have them, chances are she wouldn't have
married you.
The plural of spouse is spice.
. The Lord is very reasonable and merciful and
understanding and loving and kind, so that if two people
simply do not want to live with each other He does not
make rules to force them to do so, as man does.
Marriage: Trust is the start of it, joy is a part of it
& love is the heart of it.
In most cases I would strongly advise parents with
children to try to stick it out and survive without
separation for the sake of the children.
Some women work so hard to make good husbands that they
never quite manage to make good wives.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, & half-shut
afterwards.
Of all the home remedies, a good wife is the best.
Marriage is an institution held together by three
books--Good Book, cookbook, & checkbook.
By the time he whispers, "We were made for each
other," she is already planning alterations.
Often, when she says, "No", they both live
happily ever after, too.
The great secret of successful marriage is to treat all
disasters as incidents, & none of the incidents as
disasters.
You never realise how much a person's voice can change,
until your wife stops yelling at you & answers the
phone.
Marriage is the most satisfying, most strengthening &
most lasting human relationship on this Earth.
A vision at dinner is often a sight at breakfast.
The Bible rules for marriage are still the ideal &
work very well with God's help & your patience, if
given half a chance.
If you can't get along with the mate you now have under
almost any circumstances, how do you know you're going to
be able to get along with the next one under almost any
other circumstances?
People who can't get along with their present mate,
frequently can't get along with any mate!
Adam had the whole World to himself & God in the
Garden of Eden, & yet he wasn't truly happy or
satisfied without a woman. Only a woman's bosom can
satisfy us men.
Too often a mate is simply bored and wants a little
variety or a change, but this is not a sufficient excuse
for breaking up a marriage. Let'm take a little vacation!
. A woman needs her love expressed in loving care, even
more than loving sex.
The grass on the other side of the fence always looks
greener, but usually only because of inaccessibility.
The absolutely perfect mate simply does not exist or they
wouldn't be human.
If someone can stand to put up with you, maybe you'd
better learn how to put up with them too and be thankful
that anyone is willing to live with you at all.
Except Thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Except Thou, Saviour, bless it,
The joy will turn to pain;
But none can break the marriage
Of hearts in Thee made one,
And the Love Thy Spirit hallows
Is endless love begun.
If your mate loves you and loves the Lord, then he or she
also loves others and wants to help them.
Ask God for His love for each other, or you'll never make
it--as a marriage
Be to her
virtues very kind,
Be to her faults a little blind.
