When my sisters and I got together a couple of weekends ago for our annual "Sisters' Slumber Party", our oldest sister had several flip daily devotional calendars stashed around her home. I found the "Love for a Lifetime" by Dr. James Dobson especially good.
 
"Take it home with you, " she said.
 
So today, I am going to share a handful of ones I found to be meaningful.
 
* The family was God's idea and He does not make mistakes."
~ Love for a Lifetime, p.22
 
* A happy marriage is like mountain climbing--
the climbers are safe only as long as they are tied securely together.
~Robert W. Burns
 
* It takes three persons to make a satisfying marriage.
A husband, a wife, and God.
Marriage can be a beautiful, deeply satisfying, fulfilling relationship.
But only because God is in it.
~Jack and Carole Mathall
 
* Morality and immorality are not defined by man's changing attitudes and social customs.
They are determined by the God of the universe,
whose timeless standards cannot be ignored with impunity.
~What Wives wish their Husbands knew about Women, p. 142
 
* The Lord won't demand anything of you
which He won't help you implement.
~Emotions can you trust them, p. 104
 
* Every member of the family seeks constant satisfaction
of emotional needs, including the desire for love, social acceptance, and self-respect.
~Dare to Discipline, p. 75
 
* Beware of overcommitment
and physical exhaustion.
~Love for a Lifetime, p. 107
 
* Every one of us as human beings is know and loved by the Creator
apart from every other human on earth.
~The Strong Willed Child, p. 19
 
* Do everything in love.
~I Corinthians 16:14 NIV
