• If you're single, don't think of yourself as inferior. Single is a a spiritual empowerment God can use to accomplish His purposes.
• If we see love as a just a feeling, when that feeling’s not there, we will seek the feeling in other people, places and things.
• Our earthly marriage is a shadow of our most ultimate union, our union to Christ.
• Marriage meets our desires for companionship, affection, affirmation and security. It teaches us to love like God, often with grace.
• The key to staying in love is mutual submission - making the other the priority, submitting personal agendas to the greater whole.
• Wife as her husbands helper means she is a source of strength in his life.
• Husbands, lead your wife like Christ with servant leadership. As servant leader you take initiative for the benefit of others.
• Staying in love means we need to learn to love like God. Mutual submission teaches us what it means to love like God. 
• Jesus looked to others interests, set aside glory to serve others, opted for relationship over control. That's our example.
• “The primary point of marriage is to teach you to wash the feet of another sinner.” Elyse Fitzpatrick
• When we love our spouse, we mutually submit to each other, not because they deserve it, but out of reverence for Christ.
• We can saturate our marriages, homes and workplace with the gospel when we ask others this question - "What can I do to serve you today?"
