The Purpose of Marriage

The Purpose of Marriage

God gave us the institution of marriage; the lifelong irrevocable union of one man and one woman. This union was necessary not only so that children may be raised and cared for by a father and a mother, but also because we need each other, as helpmates. It is part of God's design that we complete each other, draw strength from each other, and contribute to one another's spiritual growth. From the very beginning, marriage was a sacred union.

The Art Critic and Loving Those Who Hate Us

All of the gifts we have received from God, all of our talents, abilities and blessings, are given to us that we may put them at the service of our brothers and sisters. This is what it means to sacrifice our lives for one another and to love as Jesus has loved us.
