A new gallery with insights, quotes and truths about marriage.

Anger is often a secondary emotion.  First I was hurt/afraid/worried, then I felt mad.

Your spouse will have to learn to love you the way you need to be loved.  And you will have to do the same.  This is a process that both have to be willing to work on.

Get help and don't give up too soon.  Marriage is meant to purify you and to force you to grow in ways you never would otherwise.

The rewards are incredible!

"Just five more minutes..."

"Unrealistic expectations is the chief cause of our dismay."

Understanding gender differences can clear up a lot of problems in marriage.

Acceptance of each other where they are right now.  (Of course this doesn't include abuse)

Being a faithful leader allows someone to trust and follow your lead.

Serving and loving sacrificially is the key to being a great leader.   

Never forget what originally made you fall in love. Those traits are still there!

THIS is why I get family histories when I'm counseling couples!

Often subconscious, soul wounds are places in our heart where we've been hurt or neglected growing up.  

If you could see your spouse's soul wounds, you would think "Ah-hah, so that is why they act that way."

There is a reason for everything we do; even if we're not aware of it.

Each of us has "soul wounds" from the past: places where we've been hurt or neglected.

Although often subconscious, we bring these into our marriage and our spouse, usually accidentally, tramples on them.

We must learn what others souls wounds are, how to avoid trampling on them, and how to minister to and heal them.  We cannot do this without God's help.

This creates a soul-healing love.

I don't know what to say on this one...

"Wreckless words pierce like a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing."

Proverb
