This was told to us at a wedding shower: very true.

"Put him above your wishes", then she looked at the Rev. and said "Put her above your wishes "
and then with a charming smile she said..."and both of you put God first, and you'll have a happy marriage"
It really does work....

My DH says that all the time!

One of my favorites is...

The Lord wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
(No offense to anyone, I just like it)

And a very smart friend of mine always tells me

If you sell yourself short, the world won't pay more than it has to.
