Marriage requires the giving and keeping of confidences, the sharing of thoughts and feelings, respect and understanding always, marriage requires humility the humility to repent, the humility to forgive. Marriage requires flexibility (to give and take) and firmness not to compromise principles. And a wise and moderate sense of humor. Both need to be pulling together in the same direction.
More Quotes from Richard L. Evans:
This is life-and it is passing. What are we waiting for.Richard L. Evans
The ever-present expectancy of death is never far removed from any of us whether we realize it or not. None of us can avoid it. It comes alike to the great and to the unknown to the righteous and to the unrighteous. Wherein we differ is not in our ability to avert it, but in the preparedness with which we meet it. At such times some question the judgments of God. Some find bitterness because of the circumstances and because of the seeming untimeliness of death.

May I make two citations from the words of a discerning editorial writer, not one of my faith, but one of much faith 'If we neglect the divine ... and give ourselves over wholly to the human,' he said, 'we may certainly count upon nothing but the triumph of pessimism.... True optimism must rest upon a calm, unshakable faith in eternal life and in the unlimited goodness of him who gives it.'
Richard L. Evans
I am thinking of the Danish sculptor of great fame, Thorvaldsen, who chose to be buried in the midst of his worknot in a cathedral or a cemetery, but in a museum among the monuments of his own making in the midst of his statuary and there what he made.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

It is a great moment in life when a father sees a son grow taller than he or reach farther.
