“You can create a climate for him according to your attitude, and this is part of your job as a wife. The home you make and the atmosphere of that home is the world he comes back to from the world of his work. Let it be a place of beauty and peace.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

“the God who controls the wheeling galaxies and who spoke before the foundation of the world must be the God who holds the smallest circumstance of your life in His hands.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

“There is a whole world of difference between those who look only for their own happiness in this world and those who know their true happiness lies in the will of God.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

“FINALLY, and I think most importantly, marriage is a vocation. It is a task to which you are called. If it is a task, it means you work at it. It is not something which happens. You hear the call, you answer, you accept the task, you enter into it willingly and eagerly, you commit yourself to its disciplines and responsibilities and limitations and privileges and joys. You concentrate on it, giving yourself to it day after day in a lifelong Yes. Having said Yes to the man who asked you to marry him, you go on saying Yes to marriage.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman
