“Love...is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself.” MomentsFeelingsChristianAsksLove IsGraceLove YouLike YouHabitUnityPartnersLove YourselfLike YourselfChristian Marriage Book:Mere Christianity Source: Mere Christianity
“Becoming one flesh is a broad concept involving the totality of life. The context of Genesis 2 and the teaching of the rest of the Bible about marriage demand this. At the same time, it is generally recognized that there is no place where this total sharing is more beautifully pictured or fully experienced than in the sexual relationship of the man and his wife.” MenWifeTeachingHe ManBecomingDemandBibleConceptsFleshBroadsInvolvingGenesisTotalityBecoming OneChristian Marriage Author:Wayne Mack
“According to the Bible, the marriage act is more than a physical act. It is an act of sharing. It is an act of communion. It is an act of total self-giving wherein the husband gives himself completely to the wife, and the wife gives herself to the husband in such a way that the two actually become one flesh.” WayGivingTwoSelfWifeHusbandBibleFleshDedicationCommunionHusband And WifeHappy MarriageSelf GivingChristian MarriageGive 100 Percent Author:Wayne Mack
“Marriage is a call to die [to self]... Christian marriage vows are the inception of a lifelong practice of death, of giving over not only all you have, but all you are. Is this a grim gallows call? Not at all! It is no more grim than dying to self and following Christ. In fact, those who lovingly die for their [spouses] are those who know the most joy, have the most fulfilling marriages, and experience the most love.” KnowsGivingSelfFactsChristianJoyDiesChristPracticeDyingFollowingFulfillingSpouseVowLifelongGrimInceptionGallowsChristian MarriageFollowing ChristMarriage Vows Author:R.
