Value One Love of God
&
Value Two Love of Your Spouse


“People who always want to be happy and pursue it above all else are some of the most miserable people in the world.”

Happiness is a fruit of a lot of hard work in relationships, career, spiritual growth, or a host of other arenas of life. But nowhere is this as true as in marriage.

What kind of person are you?

1. The kind who focuses on what you want and always desires it and never attains it
or
2. The kind who focuses on what it takes to obtain what you want.

Stand against anything in yourself or your spouse hat would destroy your values.
