Quote by Mark Driscoll

“In the opening pages of Genesis, we see that our Trinitarian God made everything “good.” The only thing that is not called “good” is that our first father, Adam, was alone. He had creation below him, and God above him, but no one alongside of him to walk as an equal.”

“In a way it is necessary to marry. If marriage is bad, the alternative is worse. For a moment he wished that he were married; he pined for the difficulty of it, the reality, the pain. And marriage must be indissoluble, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, till death do you part. The old christian ideal, marriage tempered by adultery. Commit adultery if you must, but have the decency to call it adultery. None of that amercian soulmate slop. Have your fun and then sneak home, juice of the forbidden fruit dripping from your whiskers, and take the consequences. Better that, perhaps, than horrible freedom? You'd know, at least, that it was real life that you were living.”

“সুতরাং আমার কাছে ভালো জামাই পাবার একটি বুদ্ধিই কার্যকর মনে হয়- নিজে সৎ থাকা এবং আল্লাহ তায়ালা এই সততার প্রতিদানে একজন সৎ সঙ্গী মিলিয়ে দেবেন- এই বিশ্বাস রাখা। আমাদের নির্বাচনে ভুল থাকতে পারে, মুরুব্বীরাও ভুল করতে পারেন; কিন্তু যিনি এই বিশ্বের প্রতিপালক তিনিই কেবল এমন একজন উত্তম ও বিশ্বস্ত সঙ্গী মিলিয়ে দিতে পারেন, যার সাথে জীবনযাপন করা সহজ ও উপভোগ্য। আমরা বিশ্বাস রাখতে পারি, সৎ থাকলে তিনি আমাদের জন্য উপযুক্ত ব্যক্তিকেই নির্বাচন করে দেবেন। ব্যাস, পেয়ে গেলেন আপনার ভালো বর!
