"Social media is an awesome tool if we use it to learn and to gleam from; and if we choose the right voices to speak into our lives."

"There are great marriages out there. It's just a matter of commitment of both people's part and how hard you're going to work at it, and commit to it."

"You didn't do anything wrong. God's created us to have a choice."
