"For in marriage a little licence, a little independence there mustbe between people living together day in day out in the same house; which Richard gave her, and shehim."

"I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them."

"Marriage, n: the state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two."

"I also remembered Buddy Willard saying in a sinister, knowing way that after Ihad children I would feel differently, I wouldn't want to write poems any more. So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about numb as a slave in some private, totalitarian state."

"Marriage, in what is evidently its most popular version, is now on the one hand an intimate "relationship involving (ideally) two successful careerists in the same bed, and on the other hand a sort of private political system in which rights and interests must be constantly asserted and defended. Marriage, in other words, has now taken the form of divorce: a prolonged and impassioned negotiation as to how things shall be divided. During their understandably temporary association, the "married couple will typically consume a large quantity of merchandise and a large portion of each other."

"Nothing seems to satisfy. Not politics, not education, not material goods. Some who refuse to turn their hearts toward God have created the New Age movement, with all of its aberrations. This is actually not new but only the latest attempt by man to place something other than Christ inside himself in a futile attempt to satisfy spiritual longings."

"Some Christians have an elastic conscience when it comes to their own foibles-and an ironbound conscience when it comes to the foibles of others."

"Jesus taught that there is an eternal destiny for each individual-either heaven or hell (John 5:25–29). The eternal destiny of each individual depends on a decision made in this life (Luke 16:19–31)-to be followed by a life of obedience."

"Time is running out. The seconds are ticking away toward midnight. The human race is about to take the fatal plunge . . . Is there any authority left? Is there a path we can follow? Can we find a code book that will give us the key to our dilemmas? We do have authoritative source material. It is found in the ancient and historic Book we call the Bible."

"The Bible is primarily concerned with the story of man's redemption as it is in Jesus Christ. If you read Scripture and miss the story of salvation, you have missed its message and its meaning."

"There comes a moment when we all must realize that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us."

"The greatest barrier to knowing God's will is simply that we want to run our own lives. Our problem is that a battle is going on in our hearts-a battle between our wills and God's will."

"Our dress, our posture, our actions should all be for the honor and glory of Christ. Much of our talk as Christians is secular, not spiritual. It is easy to fall into the conversational conformity of the world and spend an evening discussing politics, new cars, and the latest entertainment. We often forget that we are to edify one another with holy conversation and that our conversation should be on heavenly, and not exclusively on earthly things."
