Love & Respect

‎"Did you know that even if we are married to an unresponsive spouse we can still show love and respect to him or her as, 'unto Christ'? Believers in Christ need this reminder: at the end of life, we will stand before Christ and He will evaluate how we treated Him based on how we treated our spouse. In principle, we are to apply in our marriage the principle Jesus taught in Matthew 25:40 - 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' " ~ Emerson Eggerichs (Love and Respect)

Your Relationship with Jesus

"In the ultimate sense, your marriage has nothing to do with your spouse. It has everything to do with your relationship to Jesus Christ." ~ Emerson Eggerichs

Your Reaction Is Under Your Control

"No matter how difficult your spouse may be at the moment, your spouse does not have control over your reaction; you do. You may be experiencing disappointment, frustration, or anger, but you always have a choice." ~ Emerson Eggerichs,

Significance and Security are from God

"When you look to God and His Word as your ultimate source of significance and security, you don't demand that your spouse take that role in your life. And as you draw strength from the Lord individually, He draws you closer together as a couple." ~ Emerson Eggerichs
