Best Marriage quotes for Social Media

Welcome back to the blog everyone!
Happy New Year and I pray God’s blessing on all of you this year and beyond.

Today’s post is about the best marriage quotes I’ve come across online.
If you are into quotes, and / or married then this one is for you!

This is a short post but so much to ponder upon. Let’s dive right in.

The whole journey of married life is to help the other to heaven.
When seen in that way, it’s clear how sacrificial love is, and therefore, what it requires of us daily.

Note: Quotes are listed under the names of the Saints who wrote them.

1. St. Gianna Beretta Molla
“Love is sacrifice. To love means to give, not to receive.”

2. St. Francis de Sales

“Love makes all burdens light.”

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.”

“Husbands and wives should bear with each other’s weaknesses and imperfections.”

3.St. Augustine of Hippo

“The good of marriage consists in the fidelity of the spouses, the openness to life, and the sacramental bond.”

4. St. Alphonsus Liguori

“In marriage, patience is a continual act of love”

5. St. John Chrysostom
“Husband and wife should be like the hands and the eyes: when the hands hurt, the eyes weep; and when the eyes weep, the hands comfort them.”

“Marriage is the beginning and the crown of all culture… It is the foundation of the family and of society.”

These quotes are all so good, each capturing what it means to actually be married.
In a world where materialism is preached, marriage calls us higher, to the love of Jesus on the cross…death. Death to our own passions and to his love which brings peace.

Thanks for reading.

Til next time,
