Bible Verses: Jimmy Evans

This week the Bible Verses Series will take a look at the author Jimmy Evans who besides writing books, also has a host of DVD's based on marriage. Jared and I have attended some of his free seminars and they were awesome! I have to say that his outlook on marriage is very matter of fact which is helpful and practical. I wanted to just list some quotes from his book "Our Secret Paradise" which is a comprehensive marriage compilation. I have some of his DVD's and if any of you would like to borrow them please comment or hit me up on Facebook, I would love to send them your way!! Remember this week is the final week to post a comment for a chance to win a prize. So post away. :)

Here we go:
 All quotes by Jimmy Evans
" What each of us must realize is that a redemptive spirit is not required because the relationship is bad or wrong. It is required because all meaningful relationships hurt."

"Some people believe that the way to avoid issues in marriage is to find a potential mate who has no issues, no hurts and no problems. Sorry to burst any bubble that you might have, but such a mate doesn't exist. There is no such thing as a whole, healthy husband who has not been the focus of some redemptive activity by his wife. Every husband needs to be redeemed. Every whole, healthy wife has been redeemed by a good husband."

"Here's my best advice for single people who are looking for a marriage partner: Commit to being a servant and look for a servant to marry. When you find one another, you'll have the makings of a good marriage from the very beginning. Look for that person who has a heart to do the right thing first. But don't wait for him or her to act. Instead, commit to being the one who acts first." - All Quotes by Jimmy Evans
