I see a lot of threads about marital problems, and my heart goes out to any couples struggling. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph be with you, comfort you, help you, and guide you to make the right choices and love.
In contrast, I’d like to take a moment to confess my love for my wife. When we first married, I didn’t know what love was, but through her example, her prayers, and most of all her love, I was eventually brought face to face with Love Himself. I came to understand my identity as a child of my Father, made in His image, and made to love as he’d designed me. And then I understood my identity as husband and lover. I thank God every day for my wife.
She is peerless. My heart is in her breast, and hers in mine. The great labor of her love being complete, she rests now in my love, in perfect trust and confidence. She floats on the ocean of my love, and I cradle her. She calls me the sun of her sky, and I’ll not deny her my light and warmth. I shine for her. My warmth is all for her. She is my garden, closed up, her beauty opened only by me. She is my jewel, my fountain, my all. There is no life for me apart from her.
She is my darling wife, my soul’s love.
I write this to encourage all married couples. True love exists, but it doesn’t fall in your lap. It must be fought for. Marriage is a vocation, which means its purpose is to help each other get to Heaven. So of course it will be attacked. Of course our cold, ruthless Enemy will attempt to destroy it.
Turn to each other in those times. Cling to your helpmate, the one designed to assist you and encourage you in your Christian race. Love is neither a fancy nor a feeling. It’s an action. Love. Do love, and the feelings will follow.
My wife and I are one in all ways, so our love, being holy, is constantly attacked. But our love is stronger. Love Himself is stronger.
Please pray for us, and I will pray for you all.
