Marriage quotes are awesome encouragements that remind us in a creative way the power of love and the significance of the marriage covenant.
Marriage quotes are brief statements that inspire us to love well.
When I first married my husband, social media was still just getting started. It was nowhere near the magnitude at which it is at now. The marriage encouragement I received came directly from people, from the pulpit, from movies, or from books.
Today, all I do is jump on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram and BAM! Marriage inspirational quotes and encouragements are everywhere! And I love it!
When I began Unveiled Wife I knew I wanted to be a source of marriage encouragement for couples, especially for those who are active online, but maybe isolate themselves from people or church, for any reason.
Along the way I have gathered some of my favorite marriage quotes from the web and I wanted to share them all in one place for you!
