HOLY MATRIMONY! 600

                               
                               HOLY MATRIMONY  600

                  An interesting question just popped
                  into my mind, and I thought that I
                  would ask it for all of you husbands
                  out there...
  
                  Are you learning to live with you wife more,
                  or are you learning to live with her less?

                   Now I anticipate some wise wag to reply,
                   "I'm learning to live with my wife, more or less."

                   But, that's not exactly what I had in mind.
                   What was inferred by the question, was
                   the supposition that marriage partners 
                   should grow together...closer and closer..
                   Only then does holy matrimony occur.

                   Marriages were meant to be continually beautiful.
                   The Lord is glorified by and through holy matrimony.

                   How does you grow your marriage this night?
                   Together, or apart, holy marriages take continual
                   time and patience.
                                       
                   A blissful state of matrimony take a lifetime
                   Of work, worship and prayer.
