The
Beauty of Christian Marriage
How
beautiful, then, the marriage of two Christians,
two
who are one in hope, one in desire,
one in
the way of life they follow,
one in the religion they practice.
They
are as brother and sister,
both servants of the same Master.
Nothing
divides them, either in flesh or in Spirit.
They
are in very truth, two in one flesh;
and
where there is but one flesh
there is also but one spirit.
They
pray together,
they worship together,
they fast together;
instructing
one another,
encouraging one another,
strengthening
one another.
Side
by side they face difficulties and persecution,
share
their consolations.
They
have no secrets from one another,
they
never shun each other's company;
they
never bring sorrow to each other's hearts…
Psalms
and hymns they sing to one another.
Hearing
and seeing this, Christ rejoices.
To
such as these He gives His peace.
Where
there are two together,
there also He is present,
and
where He is, there evil is not.
