Happy Marriages

Since these quotes all have to do with marriages, I thought it would be fun to add a bunch of pictures of my husband and I. Seems the only photos we get together are selfies! haha :)

In The Family: A Proclamation to the World, faith leads the list of 9 foundational principles upon which "successful marriages are established and maintained."

Second, is prayer. In the Bible Dictionary it says, "the process by which the will of the father and the will of the child are brought into correspondence with each other." Prayer is a principle of action.

In Successful Marriages and Families, it says "persons in a healthy marriage are more likely to want to attend church together than a couple who are facing divorce."

A 7.6 year difference in longevity among persons who attended worship services more than once a week compared with non-attendees-a figure that nearly doubled to 13.7 among African Americans.

"When men attend church with their wives there are fewer disputes, not only over faith, but also over hosuework, money, how time is spent, and sex."

"Praying together as a family and reading the scriptures... together is probably the best [thing we do to pull us toward Heavenly Father and each other.]

A qualitive study found that religious practices such as prayer helped couples to manage their anger during conflict situations.
