Instead of trying to make toxic people happy or satisfied (which is a waste of time, since they can't and won't be mollified, live to help reliable people serve and worship God.

There are certain people who drain us, demean us, and distract us from other healthy relationships. Long after they're gone, we're still fighting with them in our minds and trying to get them out of our hearts. They keep us awake. They steal our joy. They demolish our peace. They make us (if we're honest with ourselves) weaker spiritually. They even invade times of worship and pervert them into seasons of fretting.

In a mixed egalitarian/complimentarian marriage, both the husband and wife will likely treat each other according to their perceived sense of marital duties, but those duties won't be received as such.

— Gary Thomas
What if exercise and discipline in eating isn't as much about physical health as about honoring the God who made us?

All that is necessary is a heart dedicated entirely and solely to Him out of love for Him above all others.
— Brother Lawrence
We can do little things for GOD; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of Him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before Him, Who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king. It is enough for me to pick up but a straw from the ground for the love of GOD.
— Brother Lawrence
