Seeking A Joyful Marriage
By Donald F Hudzinski
We do not recognize the significance of the marital bond, the one flesh union. This union was so one, that the guardianship of Adam and Eve was one, with the Real Presence in the garden. This is why we find Joseph and Mary seeking the Real Presence for three days in Jerusalem and finding Him in the temple. This is why Joseph is the new Adam because he did what the first Adam was suppose to do and that was guard the Real Presence. Joseph and Mary seek the Lord because they understood Him to be the Real Presence, the same Presence we find strolling in the garden in the evening with Adam and Eve.
As we meditate on the fifth Joyful Mystery of the rosary, we should be meditating on how to guard the Real Presence in our marriages. How to find It and make It presence in our families, just like Joseph and Mary did in the fifth Joyful Mystery. It shows marriage in its true purpose, guardianship of the Real Presence.
We can see now that every man is to become a new Adam, and why Joseph sets the example of guardianship and passed that example on to his Son. This is the key to a successful marriages, a husband and wife seeking out the Real Presence. This is the source of a joyful marriage.
This all comes forth from the words of God given to the first Adam, “ to guard and till the garden”.
You can either follow the path of the first Adam and Eve, who showed disregard for the Real Presence or the path of Joseph and Mary and seek out the Real Presence in the garden. In the first case we have described a dysfunctional marriage and in the second a functional one. In the first they debate as to which one is the true God, Adam or Eve, and the second God is the Real Presence. Remember what Satan said “You will be like God”, so Adam and Eve attempt to be just that God, and so do we if we do not seek out the Real Presence. Another way of put this is that the love of a man for a woman is not enough to accomplish a marital bond, it requires the grace of God.
Our culture would call this the battle of the sexes, but how does it come about by remove God from the marriage formula. The culture wants to remove God from everything. Science has said no mysteries, and no God for God is mystery, but so is man to the woman. The mystery of man to the woman drives science up a wall, because if this mystery exist then, just maybe so does the mystery of God. Disprove one mystery, and the other goes away.
So the culture wars are nothing new but the oldest game in town, for it started with the very first temptation in the garden. Lust was born the day of the fall when Adam and Eve, said “My will be done”, instead of “Thy will be done”. Thus Satan fathered lust.
The Real Presence is Jesus who is Creator and the Giver of life. The One who gives the gift of creation, that is why He is male, for the male is the giver of the gift of life, just like God who is the Creator and the giver of all life.
Lust is to remove the Real Presence. My will be done finds its means in divorce, contraception, sterilization, abortion and homosexuality. These are lustful acts void of “Thy will be done”.
One last point we are not guardians of the Real Presence because He needs our protection but because we need His. We guard Him because He is the Jewel of great price, something we do not want to loose, like Adam and Eve did in the garden, no, instead we want to be like Joseph and Mary and use all are means to seek Him out.
May all our marriages be joyful.
God Bless
