Marriage keys by Gary Smalley

Recently we had the privilege to hear Gary Smalley at the Couple's Conference 2008. He shared how God is teaching him so many new things and he is growing so much in his marriage in the past 5 years! Some of the keys he shared were: Protect your heart...He explained that what you think is what comes out of your heart, so you need to memorize and meditate every day, this changes my beliefs~truth~God's word changes me, changes my heart. Deut 6:4: Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. He said he has flashcards that he brings with him wherever and reflects on 20-30 verses a day! Impressive for an old guy! :) He also reminded us that we are not responsible to change our spouse; there is only one person you can change; that's yourself! Some verses he suggested for meditation: 2 Cor 12:9-10; Romans 10:9-10; Romans 5:3-5; 1 Thes 5:16-18; Phil 4:6-9
