Reminding God of His own words

Pray that this will characterize your marriage:

Psalm 133

Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity!  It is like the precious oil upon the head that ran down unto the beard, even unto Aaron's beard, and went down to the skirts of his clothing.  Like as the dew of Hermon, which fell upon the hill of Zion.  For there the Lord promised his blessing, and life for evermore.

Katie Luther

Try googling: "Martin Luther's wife" and you'll read some great things about Katie Luther. 

Martin Luther once said of his wife, “I would not want to exchange my Katie for France nor for Venice to boot; to begin with (1) because God has given her to me and me to her; (2) because I often find that there are more shortcomings in other women than in my Katie; and although she, of course, has some too, these are nonetheless offset by far greater virtues; (3) because she keeps faith and honor in our marriage relation.”
