Reading it I was reminded of a time when a group of men were gathered and giving advice on marriage to a young man about to get married. An older gentleman who was married for 50-60 years said something I will never forget and was reminded of today. He said the most important role for him in his marriage was to get his wife to heaven. What a noble, selfless, Christ-centered goal.

We can’t put limits on the mercy of God. We can only try to live in gratitude for the faith we have. Much will be expected of us.

At the risk of sounding like the beginning of a joke, there was a priest and a rabbi officiating at our wedding. The priest was from our parish in Pennsylvania (also where our first daughter was baptized) and the rabbi from our synagogue in Elmira New York.

Brilliant writing John,thank you. I love your beautiful explanation of what a Christian marriage is and how it differs from a secular marriage,so often referred to as just a piece of paper.
Blessings to you and Elise.

So, did you and your wife have a priest and a rabbi at your wedding?
Very interesting marriage you have.
