15 Quotes by Winston T. Smith

The bad news: your love problems are bigger than you think because love problems are God problems. The good news: the solution is bigger than you think because God cares and is involved. Having more love in your marriage means having more of God in your marriage. Having trouble loving is evidence either that you don’t know God or that something is interfering in your relationship with God.1.

It’s as if we believe the general duties of love are fundamentally different from our specific duties as husbands and wives.

If Jesus were to evaluate your relationship with God based on the way you treat your spouse, how would you score?

A lack of love should prompt us to not just look more closely at our marriage but at our relationship with God.

Your actions, regardless of their effect on others, always change you, either leading you to become a more loving person or a more hardened, manipulative one.

Based on what we hear on the radio, see on television, or read in magazines, we might get the idea that love is a wonderfully indescribable something that happens to us, an uncontrollable and unpredictable thing that comes and goes. That makes for great romance novels, but it doesn’t offer much hope for our marriages.
