Enough Said...

Need I say more?!

To Good Not To Share

"Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side." — Zig Ziglar

I saw this quote and just had to share it. It's just too good!! How often does that seem to be the biggest problem in marriage? You and your spouse get into a situation and react as if you were on different sides and are now fighting each other.

Today i'm keeping it short and simple because I really think that quote says it all. So just keep this quote in mind the next time you get into a conflict of any kind with your spouse and work on working together instead of fighting against each other!

What Kind Are You?

I've been seeing verses lately on different personality characteristics so I just decided to share them with you. Take a minute and read over these verses and see if any of them describe you or those around you...

The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.~ Proverbs 27:9

Don't befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people...~ Proverbs 22:24

Stay away from fools, for you won't find knowledge on their lips.~ Proverbs 14:7

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.~ Proverbs 13:20

Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.~ Ephesians 4:29

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.~ Proverbs 12:22

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.~ Proverbs 12:18

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.~ James 1:19

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.~ Ephesians 5:1

Just some food for thought for today.

A Quote For Your Weekend

Since I didn't have anything to post about for Fun Friday this week I just decided to keep things short and simple and share two quotes as my post.

"A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences." — Dave Meure

"The great secret of successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters." — Sir Harold George Nicolson

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Vacation Time!

I am on vacation this weekend getting rested and renewed with the women of our church so there will be no Fun Friday post this week. But I did want to leave you all with this quote since we've been talking about love the last few days.

"Love as distinct from "being in love" is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will"-CSLewis

Remember that love is always a choice and something you have to decide to do. I encourage you to spend this weekend looking for opportunities to chose to love your spouse and act out that love towards them. When you see something you can do for your spouse that can make them feel loved, you can chose to ignore it and simply say that you love them, or you can chose to get up and prove it through your actions. Like DC Talk said, "Love is a verb"! Have a great weekend. :o)

Beautiful Quote To Start Your Day

People get from books the idea that if you have married the
right person you may expect to go on "being in love" for ever.
As a result, when they find they are not, they think this proves
they have made a mistake and are entitled to a change -not
realizing that, when they have changed, the glamour will
presently go out of the new love just as it went out of the old
one. In this department of life, as in every other, thrills
come at the beginning and do not last... but if you go through
with it, the dying away of the first thrill will be compensated
for by a quieter and more lasting kind of interest.
~C.S. Lewis
