Principles for a Healthy Marriage

To enjoy harmony, you must first understand divine authority.

Walls that divide a marriage are those that must never be given a building permit.

Respect for another’s responsibilities opens the rarely opened door of needed appreciation.

A healthy home begins with responsibility coupled with personal accountability, in order to maintain proper balance.

Always remember: It is impossible for your partner to fill the place in your heart god gave Christ to fill.

Acting on your assignment is a major key to happiness.

Past experiences do not have to determine present attitudes.

Committed partners choose to turn their wrong decisions into right conclusions.

Each time we accuse another, we are most often guilty of the same trespass ourselves.
