On Marriage

3 October 2025

 

We don't get married to live happily ever after, to have children, to haveome. No, the main point is to enter the Kingdom of God together, which means that I am ready at any time to pay any price, to make any sacrifice and to endure any difficulty in marriage. Therefore, you cannot break off your marriage at the first difficulty that appears, or even if the difficulty continues, but it must be preserved... Marriage must rest and be built on this foundation, and that the mutual bond is built and strengthened on the joint march of the spouses to the Kingdom of God. This means that one must support the other, and both will move forward together towards the Kingdom of God.
