MARRIAGE
"It's my fault"
May 26 -- Read The Song of Solomon
Today is Carol's birthday. Other than my decision to
deepen the relationship with my Heavenly Father and
make God my number one priority, the decision to marry
Carol 33 years ago is the best decision I have ever
made. How fortunate I have been the last quarter century.
I wish everyone knew that feeling. One of my old girlfriends
from high school met Carol for the first time a few
years ago. After spending some time together, my old
girlfriend confided in me early one morning while having
coffee, "If you and Carol ever have any problems,
its your fault." I think she may be right.
- Houses and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. PROVERBS 19:14
- Man must use the talents and gifts of a woman so
that he can become all that God intended for them
to become.
- I have bound myself for life; I have made my choice;
from now on my aim will not be to choose a woman who
will please me, but to please the woman I have chosen.
There is no option. Theodore Bovet
- Rejoice and be happy, satisfied, and content with
the wife of your youth.
PROVERBS 5:18
- God invented marriage. God designed it. God believes
in marriage and wants us to understand the Biblical
principals of marriage to help us see it as a gift
from God....Many of us grow up with misconceptions
about marriage. Most of us were raised on "the
Enzio Pinza syndrome"- Some enchanted evening
you will meet a stranger across a crowded room. He
will cock his eye at her. She will cock her eye at
him. And the two of them will look cock-eyed at one
another for the whole evening! You will fall in love
and an amazing feeling will sweep over you. When a
child asks the average mom and dad in America, "How
will I know I am in love?" What do parents always
say? "When you are in love, you'll know it."
This phenomenal feeling is supposed to last fifty
years. Let me tell you clearly. It does not! Tom Tewell,

person?
