We need to embrace, today, a vision of marriage that is more dignified, deeper, more powerful, and more glorious than anything our culture has ever imagined. Remaining faithful to your spouse does not mean, above all, remaining in love with each other. It is essentially a question of respecting the alliance entered into.
“The purpose of this book is to broaden your view of marriage. Marriage is more than the love between two people. Much more. The meaning of marriage is immeasurable. Marriage consists of manifesting in the eyes of all the love of the alliance between Christ and his people. »
Of course, marriage is for life, but it is not eternal. Marriage is a great gift from God, but it is a fleeting gift. During our few years on earth, let us learn to live this commitment as a reflection of the alliance between God and the Church.
