And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. Matthew, Chapter 5, Verses 1-10 1. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3. As the two of you come to this marriage alter you profess your love for each other. God s word will serve as a constant help in understanding what love really is and how it conducts itself in making life rich and beautiful.
Marriage is a companionship which involves mutual commitment and responsibility.
You share alike in the responsibilities and the joys of life. When companions share sorrow the sorrow is halved, and when they share joy the joy is doubled. The wedding vows which you have taken were voluntary and equal. Regard them not as burdens to weigh you down but as winged hopes and promises to bear you up together into a more abundant life. A marriage, in order to be real, must be based upon love.
