“And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:13
“Marriage is a gift God has given to all humankind for the well-being of the entire human family.”
— The Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., W-4.0601.
"When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong along with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way."
— The Rev. Fred Rogers
