Quotes for a Happy Marriage and Family

The beautiful Mountain Pines Place

Later on today, I will make the trip to beautiful Mountain Pines Place in Dahilayan, Bukidnon for the Couples’ Retreat that I have advertised on this blog, The Story Of Us, as I will emcee the event.  Please pray for me, guys.  I’ve done quite a bit of emceeing in the past, but it makes me nervous every time.
Well, in honor of this event, below are some beautiful quotes for a happy marriage and family.  Enjoy!

I got these quotes here, and there’s much more where that came from.
The response to The Story Of Us has been fantastic, and if you’d like to try to make it to our December version of this event, I’m sorry, but it’s already fully booked and you’ll be put on a wait list.  Don’t despair, though.  If there are enough wait-listed couples, CCF would gladly open up a third retreat some time in January of next year. 
I hope you liked the quotes for a happy marriage and family.  Tune in soon for photos and a short review of The Story of Us.
