Today is 9/11- everything seems to be focused on what happened 13 years ago. Most of my grandkids will live with those effects even though they were not there. Yes, I remember that morning going to work, and I wonder if any of those 3,000 would have done anything different on that date. It does no good to look back, we cannot change that- we need to look ahead and change what we can. I would like to focus on the marriages that are under attack- There is someone out there seeking to destroy marriage- don't give up! I love Steve and Annie Chapman- their songs talk so much about family and marriage. You have probably noticed I use their songs for many of my personal videos I make. For their 25th anniversary they wrote this song. It seems marriage is being attacked and in many ways it is a spiritual war more than a husband/wife war. I pray that God will bless your marriage. Don't Give Up! Ask God to be part of your marriage. Build your house on the Rock. Your Children need a safe place, called home, now more than ever. (Adults need a safe place too!)
A good marriage is the union of two good forgivers.-- Ruth Bell Graham
A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences. -- Dave Meurer
As for his secret to staying married: "My wife tells me that if I ever decide to leave, she is coming with me."-- Jon BonJovi
Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. -- Simone Signoret
Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.-- Tom Mullen
I have no way of knowing whether or not you married the wrong person, but I do know that many people have a lot of wrong ideas about marriage and what it takes to make that marriage happy and successful. I'll be the first to admit that it's possible that you did marry the wrong person. However, if you treat the wrong person like the right person, you could well end up having married the right person after all. On the other hand, if you marry the right person, and treat that person wrong, you certainly will have ended up marrying the wrong person. I also know that it is far more important to be the right kind of person than it is to marry the right person. In short, whether you married the right or wrong person is primarily up to you.-- Zig Ziglar
I think a man and a woman should choose each other for life, for the simple reason that a long life with all its accidents is barely enough time for a man and a woman to understand each other and. . . to understand - is to love.-- William Butler Yeats
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic, a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts, an enabler rather than a reformer.-- H. Norman Wright and Gary J. Oliver
Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. -- Mark Twain
Marriage isn't supposed to make you happy - and satisfied. It's your job to make your marriage happy - and satisfying. Same goes for sex. It isn't supposed to make you passionate and "hot". It's up to you to make it passionate and "hot" - and intimate.-- Diane Sollee
One of the great illusions of our time is that love is self-sustaining. It is not. Love must be fed and nurtured, constantly renewed. That demands ingenuity and consideration, but first and foremost, it demands time.-- David Mace
People think they have to find their soulmate to have a good marriage. You're not going to "find" your soulmate. Anyone you meet already has soulmates. Their mother. Their father. Their lifelong friends. You get married, and after 20 years of loving,bearing and raising children, meeting challenges - then you'll have "created" your soulmate.-- Diane Sollee
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly. -- Peter De Vries
The more you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes. -- Amy Grant
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.-- Theodore Hesburgh
There is such pleasure in long-term marriage that I really would hate to be my age and not have had a long-term marriage. Remember, sustaining a pleasurable, long-term marriage takes effort, deliberateness and an intention to learn about one another. In other words, marriage is for grown-ups. -- Cokie Roberts, From This Day Forward
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.-- Leo Tolstoy
When asked his secret of love, being married fifty-four years to the same person, he said, "Ruth and I are happily incompatible."-- Billy Graham
When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.-- Friedrich Nietzsche
You don't marry one person; you marry three: the person you think they are, the person they are, and the person they are going to become as a result of being married to you.-- Richard Needham
