Jesus makes it clear that marriage is intended to LAST, since it is a commitment of two persons to give themselves totally to each other. (Mt 5: 27-32). No side-glances, no wishful thinking or regrets. It should be entered into with permanence in mind, giving confidence and joy to the couple to proceed together as one flesh, one person. Such a commitment is demanding as well as rewarding, as love makes the "rewarding" outweigh the "demanding." Everything in life that is worthwhile in life is demanding, not just marriage, but few are as fulfilling and rewarding.
Let us pray in thanksgiving for couples who have discovered this, as well as for couples planning on marriage, that they may do so with serious reflection, and preparation. May joy and peace be theirs as they enter into deep communion with each other to grow in holiness.
