A husband should love his wife with a constant love, for thus Jesus loves His church. He does not vary in His affection. He may change in his display of affection, but the affection itself is still the same. A husband should love his wife with enduring love, for nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God....” A true husband loves his wife with hearty love, fervent and intense. It is not lip service.
~C.H. Spurgeon~

1. “Don’t let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice, so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice and when you do, fill the damn silence.” 2. “Why do we often run for the hills when we feel the slightest connection? Why do we feel compelled to fight what we’re hardwired to do? Maybe it’s because when we find someone or something to hold on to, that feeling becomes like air.

It’s the other stories, the ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become reality.
