Not Giving Up on Marriage<\/h3>\n

When life gets hard, our first reaction is to give up. With marriage, though, that should be the last resort. A couple should never give up on their relationship, and choose to fight for it every single day. Love wins when you never stop trying to show it to your spouse, despite everything else that is going on in your life. These quotes will motivate you to keep pushing forward when it feels like it is too hard.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \"In marriage it is never about not falling, it is always about getting back up.\" \u2013 Dr. Emerson Eggerichs<\/li>\n
  • \"You can\u2019t just give up on someone because the situation is not ideal. Great relationships aren\u2019t great because they have no problems. They are great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work.\" \u2013 Unknown<\/li>\n
  • \u201cAll marriages have dark periods, even the great ones. Don\u2019t give up when you\u2019re in the valley.\u201d \u2013 Michele Weiner-Davis<\/li>\n
  • \u201cA strong marriage requires loving your spouse even in those moments when they aren\u2019t being lovable; it means believing in them even when they struggle to believe in themselves.\u201d \u2013 Dave Willis<\/li>\n
  • \u201cA husband and wife may disagree on many things but they must absolutely agree on this: to never, ever give up.\u201d \u2014 Unknown<\/li>\n
  • \"Happily ever after in not a fairy tale, it\u2019s a choice.\" \u2013 Fawn Weaver<\/li>\n
  • \"People say love doesn\u2019t last. Well, neither does bathing. That\u2019s why we recommend renewing it daily.\" \u2013 Unknown<\/li>\n<\/ul>

    Marriage is Sacred<\/h3>\n

    When you took your vows on your wedding day, you made a promise to your partner that you would stick by them until the end of time. That did not mean \"just when things are good\". Those vows mean you will stick by them through it all and promise to work things out when they are difficult. Marriage is not something that should so easily be thrown away. Take a moment to remember that marriage is a sacred bond between you two that is something special to honor.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \"Marriage is meant to keep people together, not just when things are good, but particularly when they are not. That\u2019s why we take marriage vows, not wishes.\" \u2013 Ngina Otiende<\/li>\n
    • \"The more you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.\" - Amy Grant<\/li>\n
    • \"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.\" \u2014Audrey Hepburn<\/li>\n
    • \u201cMarriage: Love is the reason. Lifelong friendship is the gift. Kindness is the cause. Til\u2019 death do us part is the length.\u201d - Fawn Weaver<\/li>\n
    • \u201cMarriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.\u201d - Jennifer Smith<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Making Your Marriage Survive<\/h3>\n

      Marriage requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and determination to keep it going. While love is an important factor, love isn't the only thing required to have a good relationship. Communication, respect, and willingness to overcome obstacles are all important. No pair is going to be perfect. Through teamwork, though, you can get past each other's differences and learn how to cohabitate as partners.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \u201cMore marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.\u201d \u2013 Doug Larson<\/li>\n
      • \u201cReal giving is when we give to our spouses what\u2019s important to them, whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not.\u201d \u2013 Michele Weiner-Davis<\/li>\n
      • \"A marriage is a like a house. When a light bulb goes out, you do not go and buy a new house, you fix the light bulb.\" \u2013 Happy Wives Club<\/li>\n
      • \u201cThere is no challenge strong enough to destroy your marriage as long as you are both willing to stop fighting against each other and start fighting for each other.\u201d \u2014 Dave Willis<\/li>\n
      • \u201cA successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.\u201d - Mignon McLaughlin<\/li>\n
      • \u201cWhat counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.\u201d \u2013 Leo Tolstoy<\/li>\n
      • \u201cThe greatest marriages are built on teamwork. A mutual respect, a healthy dose of admiration, and a never-ending portion of love and grace.\u201d - Fawn Weaver<\/li>\n<\/ul>

        Remember the Past<\/h3>\n

        There was once a time when you and your partner were so madly in love with each other, that you thought nothing could ever tear you two apart. Those moments of bliss and happiness can quickly be forgotten when something bumpy pops up in the relationship. These quotes will remind you of how you once felt about your spouse, and motivate you to get your marriage back to that again.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \u201cOne day, in your search for happiness, you discover a partner by your side, and you realize that your happiness has come to help you search.\u201d - Robert Brault<\/li>\n
        • \u201cLove is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.\u201d - Oliver Wendell Holmes<\/li>\n
        • \u201cWrite a list of ways that you have benefited from being married to your spouse. Then write a list of your spouse\u2019s positive patterns and qualities. Keep adding to the lists and reread them frequently.\u201d - Rabbi Pliskin<\/li>\n
        • \"All that you are is all that I\u2019ll ever need.\" - Ed Sheeran<\/li>\n
        • \"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.\" - Dr. Seuss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          No one ever said marriage would be easy, but they did say it would be worth it. While it might not feel that your marriage is going anywhere right now, reflect on these motivational quotes to help shift your mindset. The person you married is still there and your relationship is worth saving. You just need to put in a little bit of time and dedication.<\/p>\n
