Both eyes are needed for a proper perspective on all matters of life. Biblical marriage is the only pairing that allows a man formed from the dust of the ground to welcome the help of a woman made from his rib. The world is better for it. Linda Bartlett, former president of Lutherans For Life - A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
