Husband And Wife --- Two Loving Hearts Creating A Beautiful Harmony

Marriage is the bond [glue] that ties two loving hearts together. As each ministers to the other, stands by the other in times of life’s many challenges, complements as well as compliments the other, the relationship is intertwined and made fast like the strands of a rope (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Love does not consist of two people gazing fondly into each other’s eyes, but in moving together in the same direction (Amos 3:3).

Just as the maple tree cannot grow under the shadow of the towering oak tree, so one helpmate cannot fully develop under the domination of the other.

The husband and wife are similar in nature to two musicians playing different notes on different instruments, but creating a beautiful harmony as the tones of one blend in with those of the other.
