Good Book Quotes 1
from "What Did You Expect?? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage" by Paul Tripp
"...true love grows out of the nutrient soil of gratitude."
"The unity of marriage is not the result of absence of misunderstanding, but rather the unity of a marriage is formed as you work through inevitable misunderstandings with patience, kindness and grace."
"...the character of a marriage is established through 10,000 little moments."
"Trust is being so convinced that you can rely on the integrity, strength, character and faithfulness of another that you are willing to place yourself in his or her care."
"...you will entrust yourself to the person who loves you enough to trouble his life with what troubles you."
"Humble openness, coupled with the commitment to admit to and confess wrongs is an essential ingredient to the bond of trust."
"Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is worthy." (ie: think of Jesus dying on the cross for us- we are to model THAT kind of love to our spouse!)
"He (Jesus) brings you the wisdom and strength you need to be what you are supposed to be, and to do what you are supposed to do, what you have been called to do in your marriage. And his sweetest gift, in an agenda of grace, is that He daily rescues you from you, which is just what you need but are unable to do for yourself." (ie: I am the biggest problem in the relationship bc of my sin and selfishness- don't operate as if the other person is the only sinner in the relationship!)
