Marriage - a daily struggle

We are all gardens with weeds scattered amongst our beautiful flowers. Those weeds are our imperfections. Husbands and wives with God’s help, weed each other’s gardens. God unites one man and one woman together in Holy Matrimony to love, cherish, guide and support each other throughout their marriage. The two need not be perfect before they are joined but rather work to perfect each other in their daily struggle.

True Marital Love

God's love puts us on top of the world. True love between a man and a woman can only exist if it is total, unconditional, and sacrificial. It brings about a joy that words cannot express. Love like this is revealed through the glory of God. It is God who plants the longing for one another in each others' hearts. It is God who makes their presence felt in their hearts when they are far apart. This love is true because it comes from the heart of God. God brings a divine love to the hearts of a man and a woman destined to become one. That great desire for each other is God's love, and when God wills for two people to become man and wife that desire soars to the highest of heights. They are drawn to each other like two powerful magnets that cannot be separated. They can only fully live when they are joined because their fulfillment is found in one another.
