Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth. Mrs Miracle

Debbie Macomber

Marriages are said to be made in Heaven, which may be why they don't work here on Earth.

Thomas Szasz

They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.

Clint Eastwood

Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.

Robert Bolt

Some marriages are made in heaven, Mine was made in Hong Kong, by the same people who make those little rubber pork chops they sell in the pet department at Kmart.

Tom Robbins

If marriages are said to be made in heaven then why search for grooms in hell.

Amit Abraham

And pray where in earth or heaven are there prudent marriages-Might as well talk about prudent suicides.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking; Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.

Randy Alcorn

I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.

Charles Spurgeon

I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell; and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.

C. S. Lewis

Heaven will be the perfection we've always longed for. All the things that made Earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in heaven.

Billy Graham

While we look forward to a new heaven, let's first consider the new earth, for the new earth will indeed be like heaven on earth. We will live on a restored earth.

Paul P. Enns

The holy heaven yearns to wound the earth, and yearning layeth hold on the earth to join in wedlock; the rain, fallen from the amorous heaven, impregnates the earth, and it bringeth forth for mankind the food of flocks and herds and Demeter's gifts; and from that moist marriage-rite the woods put on their bloom.
