Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly.
George MacDonald

Half of love is listening.
Carol Weston

A lady of forty-seven who has been married twenty-seven years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: "Love is what you've been through with somebody."
James Thurber

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.
Blaise Pascal

When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.
C.S.Lewis

A woman was given not for a man’s whims but for his character. She elevates him in true masculinity. It takes a woman to make a real man. This is God’s design, and we tamper with it at our peril.
-Richard D. Phillips and Sharon L. Phillips

A true man does not need to romance a different girl every night, a true man romances the same girl for the rest of her life.

True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

"The deepest longing of the human heart and the deepest meaning of heaven and earth are summed up in this: the glory of God. The universe was made to show it, and we were made to see it and savor it. Nothing less will do.”

- John Piper

The heart does things for reasons that reason itself doesn't understand.
- The Princess Diaries

The difference between a failed wedding and a successful one comes down to one very simple thing- the guest list. Was Christ invited?
When He is our Guest of Honor, our Wedding Coordinator, the Testator of our covenant, not only will our celebratory wine never run out, but it will get tastier and tastier as the love story progresses.
...He designed marriage to be an earthly sampling of eternal love in heaven with Him as our Bridegroom. And His version of love, just like fine wine, gets better and better as time passes.
... Ask Him to fill you full of Himself, the Living Water, and transform your relationship into a miracle that proves that poetic love only gets sweeter and sweeter with the passing of time.
Eric and Leslie Ludy

To love a spouse amid the flame of honeymoon passion is human, but to love a spouse all the days of your life, even before you ever lay eyes upon that person- this kind of love is divine.
Eric and Leslie Ludy

This is not a quote, but a thought that I heard recently- God created the two sexes so that people would realize that they are not sufficient alone. Adam and Eve were created to perfectly complement each other. Each showed a part of God's character, but it wasn't the fullness of it- the two need to be brought together to make one. ONLY God is sufficient in Himself. People need the balance of the sexes. It takes a little bit to think through, but it makes sense! Sometimes it takes work, but we really can bring out the best in each other if we work at it. We need each other to bring out the best of the godly masculinity and femininity that is within us.

Everything you love is what makes a life worth living.
-John Eldredge

Don't forget-
I am faithful.
I have demonstrated ultimate Love by laying down my life and then taking it up again- for you.
I live in your heart through faith.
I am your strong tower.
My love blows every other love you've ever experienced out of the water.
My Spirit is with you as a deposit- a guarantee- of what is to come.

Jesus

(idea taken from Leann Weiss-Rupara, words mine)

Hug them, kiss them and tell them that you love them. Don't miss the chances that life is giving you to spend with people you love. There are no rewinds.
-Adam Sandler

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce. But still only light and flickering. As our hearts mature, our love becomes coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
-Bruce Lee

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
-Henry Drummond

When a husband and wife both want their partner to receive life's best before they do, you have a marriage that's going to exceed every wedding day dream. Their love not only lasts; it continually grows.
-Gary Smalley
