One of the best ways to improve your marriage is to quietly improve yourself.

Never be afraid to let go. Train your fingers one by one to be released from that which you grasp. By the time of the final finger, letting go will be much less painful and draining on the soul.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.

•To me, a lady is not
frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained…but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving.
You and I have the gift of femininity..... the more womanly we are, the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified. Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God•

"Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice."

"Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision."

~Erich Fromm
