Author of quotes: Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova

There are people who believe, but do almost nothing. Those who truly love Christ are distinguished by action. Others listen, but these do. Those who do His will are pleasing to Christ.

Not only the happiness of a husband's life depends on his wife, but also the development and growth of his character. A good wife is a blessing of Heaven, the best gift for a husband, his angel and a source of innumerable blessings: her voice for him is the sweetest music, her smile sanctifies his day, her kiss is the guardian of his loyalty, her hands are the balm of his health and all his life , her hard work is the guarantee of his well-being, her frugality is his most reliable manager, her lips are his best advisor, her breasts are the softest pillow on which all worries are forgotten, and her prayers are his advocate before the Lord.

Love requires special delicacy. You can be sincere and devoted, and yet in speeches and actions may not be enough of the tenderness that so conquers the heart. Here's a tip: don't show bad mood and insulted feelings, don't speak angrily, don't do bad things. No woman in the world will be more worried about harsh or rash words flying off your lips as your own wife. And most of all in the world, be afraid to upset her. Love does not give the right to behave rudely towards the one you love. The closer the relationship, the more painful the heart is from the look, tone, gesture or word that speaks of irritability or is simply thoughtless.

The duty of the family is selfless love. Everyone should forget his self, devoting himself to another. Everyone should blame themselves, not the other, when something goes wrong. It takes endurance and patience, but impatience can ruin everything. A harsh word can slow the merging of souls for months.

Most of all, rudeness is unforgivable in our own home, in relation to those whom we love.

And so flows the life of a true home, sometimes in bright sunlight, sometimes in gloominess.

In all that we are and what we do, we need the blessing of God. No one, except God, will support us in the time of great sorrow. Life is so fragile that any parting might not be eternal. We can never be sure that we will have the chance to ask forgiveness for the evil word and be forgiven. Our love to each other may be sincere and deep on Sunny days, but it is not as strong as in the days of suffering and sorrow, when reveal all its hidden to this wealth.
