Paradoxically, the more you truly love that person, the more love you receive.

If you truly love someone, have the faith to 'let them go.' Encourage them to be the fullest measure of themselves, and you will be overwhelmed by the love that your spouse returns to you.

We simply can’t abandon ship every time we encounter a storm in our marriage. Real love is about weathering the storms of life together.

Our society places a lot of emphasis on feelings. We are taught that we should always follow our feelings and do whatever makes us happy. But feelings are very fickle and fleeting. Real love, on the other hand, is like the north star in the storms of life; it is constant, sure, and true. Whenever we’re lost and confused we can find strength in the love that we have chosen.

Love without conditions.

Marriage isn't for you. It's not about you. Marriage is about the person you marry.

Darling, I would follow you through the blackest midnight—just not without my trousers!

Marriage should liberate, not incarcerate. Real love shouldn't limit a person's potential, it should expand it.

Love is so much more than some random, euphoric feeling. And real love isn’t always fluffy, cute, and cuddly. More often than not, real love has its sleeves rolled up, dirt and grime smeared on its arms, and sweat dripping down its forehead. Real love asks us to do hard things—to forgive one another, to support each other’s dreams, to comfort in times of grief, or to care for family. Real love isn’t easy—and it’s nothing like the wedding day—but it’s far more meaningful and wonderful.
