Does anyone have a really beautiful quote about marriage and getting through tough times?

It's our anniversary today and my DH and I have been through hell and back since our loss...but we are still standing

Simple but true.

Happy anniversary!

I don't have any quotes about tough times, but we have a plaque in our room that says "Marriage: Trust is the start of it, Joy is a part of it, and Love is the heart of it."  I like it

This is kind of long and not really about marriage, but for the grieving father:

 

It must be very difficult

to be a man in grief

since men don't cry and men are strong

no tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult

to stand up to the test

and take the calls and visitors

so she can get some rest

They always ask if she's all right

and what she's going through

but seldom take his hand and ask

"My friend, but how are you?"

He hears her crying in the night

and thinks his heart will break

he dries her tears and comforts her

but stays strong for her sake

It must be very difficult to start each day anew

and try to be so very brave

He lost his baby too.

These are beautiful :-)

 

I like Thich Nhat Hanh a lot.  Here are some but if you google him you can find many quotes and stories.  His books are all great, too.

?When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
understand, and you show that you understand, you can
love, and the situation will change?

?Our own life has to be our message.? 

?For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.?

?Suffering is not enough. Life is both dreadful and wonderful...How can I smile when I am filled with so much sorrow? It is natural--you need to smile to your sorrow because you are more than your sorrow.?

?The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person?s suffering and bring that person joy.?

?I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.?

?I have noticed that people are dealing too much with the negative, with what is wrong. ... Why not try the other way, to look into the patient and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom??

?Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.?

These are some good ones about death and loss, through miscarriage and of adult loved ones:  https://www.dhammatalks.net/Books10/Thich_Nhat_Hanh_No_Death_No_Fear.htm
