The miracle of becoming

 

 

"Imagine a man so focused on God that the only reason he looked up to see you

 

was because he heard God say, 'That's her.'"

 

 

Trust in God.  We can only see a little bit down the road but God can see around every curve.

 

"Forgiveness should do hand in hand with love."

 

 

"What we love determines what we see." Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

The spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest,

 

so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul... George Herbert

 

 

God already knows every detail of today. Don’t let worry rob you of His blessings.

 

Instead, be open-handed and open-minded to what God is going to do.

 

 

I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion…….    The miracle of becoming one requires the help of Heaven and it takes time.

“There can be times when one spouse falls short and the other feels pain. When that happens, the one who is wronged should balance current disappointments against the good of the past and the brighter prospects of the future. A marriage is a precious, living thing. Spouses should do all within their power to preserve and strengthen their marriage. They should be best friends, kind and considerate, sensitive to each other’s needs, always seeking to make each other happy.” Dallin H. Oaks

 

 

“To give ourselves totally to another person, as we do in marriage, is the most trusting step we take in any human relationship. It is a real act of faith, faith all of us must be willing to exercise. If we do it right, we end up sharing everything all our hopes, all our fears, all our dreams, all our weaknesses, and all our joys with another person."

 

Jeffrey R. Holland

 

 

If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it.

 

You never abuse it. You don't expose it to the elements. You don't make it common or ordinary.

 

If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new.

 

It becomes special because you made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.

 

F. Burton Howard

 

Believe that your faith has everything with your romance because it does.  Jeffrey Holland

 

 

"No trial is so large we can’t overcome it together." Neil L. Andersen

 

Marriage is a gift from God to us. The quality of our marriage is a gift from us to Him.

 

 

Smiles are so powerful that many long-term marriages and healthy relationships have begun with a single smile shared across a room. You’ve heard people say that, “When our eyes met, we both knew that we were meant for each other.”

 

love begins in a moment, grows over time, and lasts for eternity
