"The spiritual gardening that will make for a beautiful marriage (pulling and planting) must largely be done within your own heart.  There are self-centered thoughts, attitudes, desires, motives, choices, and goals that must be uprooted from the soil of your heart, and new seeds of other-focused thoughts, attitudes, desires, motives, choices, and goals must be planted in their place.  And you need to remember that this pulling and planting is not a one-time thing, but something that must become the lifestyle of your union."  ~Paul David Tripp

On this Valentine's Day, I'm extra grateful for a guy who doesn't let little things slide, but chooses to do the hard work of "pulling and planting" every single day.
