MARRIAGE IS FOREVER

Friday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time Year C Mark 10:1-12 “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” To all the husbands, your wife is your forever. To all the wives, your husband is your eternity. Sometimes your marriage will be tested by different waves and forms of struggles but separation or divorce is not the best solution. If there is a failure in your relationship, start again fix it and give each other a chance to be better. Make a resolve to work together in good times and in bad. There is no perfect marriage and when storms attack your married life learn to dance and bend in humility and give your marriage a music to succeed. Friends, divorce is like an amputation. You survive but there is a less of you. To all the couples, our gospel is reminding you guys that that best gift you can give to your kids is a happy marriage. God created us to relate not to separate. “What God has joined together, let no one separate.”Friends, marriage is a divine institution and no human power can dissolve it. Divorce is as painful as death because it is a death without a burial. Today and for eternity dont forget to tell your spouse that you love him/her everyday. If in case you forgot, let me refresh you of this: “I, ___ do you take you as my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, to this day onward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?” Blessings Fr.
