Our salvation is based upon our being mature enough to acknowledge that we are wrong when we are, because it is only by acknowledging our sins that we can turn from sin and repent.

The relationship between men and women is a microcosm of the relationship between man and God. It is impossible to be both promiscuous and Godly, because God does not endorse the promiscuity of either men or women.

We thank those virtuous wives that have submitted to and seduced us to manipulate and mold us into better husbands, and have used their physical bodies and emotional resources to raise strong boys and virtuous girls into adulthood

The gentle husband endeavors to respond to his wife in a way that will transmit, not only the intellectual concept that he is trying to get across, but also his affection and concern for his wife. God tells husbands that it is more effective for a man to be gentle, loving and right, rather than to just be right.

When we find that our plans are in conflict with the plans of God, we ought make the conscious choice to follow God, as Mary did.

Jesus saved the day at a wedding at the behest of the mother whom He loved, because Jesus’ ministry was not about ceremonial law or sacrifices, but about love.

God commands that we live, not by the excitement of sexual or emotional attraction, but by the stable principle of commitment.

Every time we decide to “do our own thing” rather than following God’s instructions, we ultimately learn, by our own experience, that God’s instructions are correct and our “thing” is wrong.
