How can we speak of laying down our lives for our spouse if we are not willing to make small sacrifices for them. Men, the football season is upon us. These are the day to day areas where spouses are called to love one another. The net result of this relationship will be two people who are more holy than when they were single. Two people whom no longer think only for themselves but for their spouse and their children.
Marriage has the beautiful effect of making spouse grow in holiness.
And it is into this union of married person s that children come into. Not just children that grow to be adults that will live for 75 years but for little souls that will live for all eternity. Because parents are generous enough to cooperate with the creative power of God they bring souls into being that will spend all eternity with God. Marriage is part of God's plan for the salvation of the world. From the beginning of the earth when Adam and Eve were created marriage has been art of God's plan.
