I am currently reading this book, I, Isaac, take Thee, Rebekah by Ravi Zacharias. It is a book about marriage. It has been a real blessing to me and I have obtained alot of knowledge from it. I just wanted to share some quotes from the book that might bless you and help you, as well.
Concering marriage:
"It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of tempation that the Bible so clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us."
"Is this person the one for whom you are willing to die daily? Is this person to whom you say, "I do" also the one for whom you are willing to say, "No, I don't" to everybody else? Be assured that marriage will cost you everything."
