Today is Friday, April 27th, 2012; Karen's Korner #2305

A glance at this week's local newspaper and readers see a half-dozen local businesses with bridal registries; next weekend looks like people could attend nearly that many open bridal and baby showers!
 
I plan to take in a couple. One of my gifts is going to be a spiral, flip calendar titled "365 Best-Kept Marriage Secrets"; and since we are never too old to learn, here are a handful:
 
"Seven things needed for a happy home:
faith, love, honesty, acceptance,
forgiveness, tradition, and humor."
March 20
 
*
 
"One key to the success of a happy marriage
is that each spouse truly believes:
'I am the lucky one.'"
March 31
 
*
 
"Ultimately, God should be in control of each area
of your marriage and life together.
If you've been in control
and have not let Him rule in your lives,
identify where you need to change
and how you can do it."
August 14
 
*
 
"Nothing can build the esteem of a husband
like the voice of his wife praising him.
October 17
 
*
 
"Never take your spouse for granted.
Remember, he or she is a gift from
the Father and of great value to Him."
November 13

"The righteous cry out,
and the LORD hears them;
He delivers them from all their troubles."
Psalm 34:17 NIV
December 14
