    If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

    “During the marriage ceremony the two become one - on the honeymoon they discover which one.” – I quoted from guy who seems to be a deep-thinker. But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more

    To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).

He knew up here [pointing to head] that God loved him, but when he had a child he began to understand more in here [heart] that God has the ...read more
