Top Highlights

“It is utterly foolish for a believer to knowingly and willfully marry an unbeliever. The Word of God clearly forbids it, and the disobedient Christian cannot expect God’s blessing on his or her marriage.” (source)

“The Lord Jesus Christ is the key to a successful marriage.” (source)

“‘Can two walk together, except they be agreed?’¹ This was originally spoken by God to the nation Israel, but it also contains a practical message for every couple who would like to enjoy a successful marriage today. Each must agree to do his or her part before the Lord. You might be walking together a long time before the return of Jesus Christ! Join hands with your partner and say, ‘With Christ’s help I want to make this marriage and this home the kind that will bring glory to God.” (source)

“‘I will make him a helpmeet’ was God’s proclamation. The word helpmeet is derived from two Hebrew words meaning ‘a help’ and ‘agreeing to him.’ Woman was created to be a helper suitable for man, compatible with him spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. She is his complement, providing what he lacks and fulfilling his potential.” (source)

“Loneliness is an awful thing; it is emptiness, incompleteness, lack of communion, lack of personal companionship. Loneliness is the lack of opportunity to share yourself with someone who understands—someone with whom you can enjoy a mutual commitment and trust.” (source)
