As I try to find material on marriage, I came across something interesting. I found an article on "Nine suggestions for an ailing marriage"  One of the nine was, Trust your mate.  Trust your spouse, even if he or she is wrong--you are right in trusting.  A marriage must be based on trust.  It cannot survive with out it. I am sure that most of us would agree on this.

What a wonderful couple of days it has been.  I was able to watch a wedding on friday night, one of my family members got married.  On saturday, I was able to perform the ceremony of an elderly couple an hour away.  No matter how old or young they are it is great to see the love that they have for each other.  My prayer for both couples is that they have many years together and a lifetime of happiness. God is good.

I really like this quote "A young man prayed, "Lord give me a wife that loves thee---for then I know she will love me."

I know that I needed a laugh for the day so I went with this quote "Some husbands lay down the law and then accept their wife's amendments."

This next quote really puts things in perspective.  "A successful marriage is built on trust--and an occasional compliment."

As we continue our devotions on the "missing ingredients", we are going to publish one on Trust or lack of trust in a marriage.  I am going to leave you with this quote, "Nothing makes a marriage rust like distrust."
