Maybe we should add to the list divorce and answer with St. Paul, No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. But it is an unflagging trust that the grace of God is the true source of life. Nearly 500 years ago the Reformers revised the Medieval catholic understanding of marriage by refusing to see it as a means to redemption. Marriage is not a sacrament through which we receive salvation. Marriage is not a tool by which we achieve salvation.
Marriage is a gift.
Those who have survived in life long marriages have no grounds for boasting. If they are blessed with having avoided the hurt, injury and disillusionment of divorce, they too may come to the table in gratitude for that gift. It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. The people bring their children to Jesus so that he may touch them.
