“An eternal marriage is eternal. Eternal implies continuing growth and improvement. It means that man and wife will honestly try to perfect themselves. It means that the marriage relationship is not to be frivolously discarded at the first sign of disagreement or when times get hard.

All of these things are involved in anything that is eternal, and surely we must learn and practice them if we intend to claim an eternal marriage.”
― F. Burton Howard
