Whatever Jesus lays His hands upon, lives. If He lays is hands upon a marriage, it lives. If He is allowed to lay His hands on the family, it lives.

About This Quote

The marriage of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott was a particularly beautiful union. When they wed, they had already been married for over twenty years. They had two children, who were both grown.

The marriage was not on the rocks or threatened with divorce. What brought them together was the commitment to Christ. This is what allowed them to bring out the best in each other.

It is not enough to know how to work together as a team or play well as friends. You also have to bring out the best in your partner by bringing Christ into your relationship.
