Quote by Grace Livingston Hill

“The man who will so dishonor a woman as to marry her when he bears her no love is, to my mind, not only unworthy of being a missionary of Jesus Christ, but also hardly worthy the name man, surely not gentleman”

“Monogamous heterosexual marriage was always viewed as the divine norm from the outset of creation. Mosaic instruction shows considerable efforts to safeguard this ideal against its dissolution by clarifying what is ‘family.’ Sexuality was instrumental in defining what a household was in Israel; abrogation of sexual boundaries threatened the identity of this core social institution. Without proper limits 'family' ceased, and the consequence was the undoing of Israel as a nation, the same fate suffered by their predecessors (Lev 18:24–30).”

“That’s what love is. Issues. One after another and another. But when you love someone, you just have to commit. And when bad things happen, you stand together and fight until you can’t go any further. It’s that simple. But if you’re not ready to do that, then you’re not ready for marriage because I promise there will never be a lack of reasons to quit. So you’ve got to have at least one good reason to stick it out: him.” She blinks at me, her eyes threatening to tear. “You have to love him. And you. And what you make together. You have to believe in that one thing. Otherwise, it’s not going to last.”
