Biarlah hati ini patah karena sarat dengan beban, dan biarlah dia meledak karena ketegangan. Pada akhirnya perbuatan manusia menentukan, yang mengawali dan mengakhiri.

Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other—the way God reached out and found us, and covenanted with us, and loved us, and despite who we are, despite what we're like, still loves us. This image, more than almost anything, is exactly what the enemy wants to denigrate.
~ Priscilla Shirer
