“Husbands and wives, recognize that in marriage you have become one flesh. If you live for your private pleasure at the expense of your spouse, you are living against yourself and destroying your joy. But if you devote yourself with all your heart to the holy joy of your spouse, you will also be living for your joy and making a marriage after the image of Christ and His church.” IfsHeartJoyChristChurchPleasureMarriageWifeHolyHusbandFleshExpensesDestroyingSpouseHusband And Wife Book:Desiring God, Revised Edition: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist Source: Desiring God, Revised Edition: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist

I would not-I could not-marry Miss Ingram. You-you strange-you almost unearthly thing!-I love as my own flesh. You-poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are-I entreat to accept me as a husband.” KnowsLittlesEyePainMotherMy OwnPoorResultsAcceptingTakenMissingStrangeHusbandProveThirdsFortuneConvincedFleshLiarsObscureRumorSkepticThings I LoveColdnessAccept Me Author:Charlotte Bronte
“The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to the movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands... and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.” LittlesEnoughBitsWonderToo MuchWifeHusbandLittle BitBirdFleshManageGirlfriendProductiveMaking LoveHusband And WifeClingingOcdBoyfriend And GirlfriendProductive Life Author:Stephen King
