Marriage is ...

"Marriage is intended to be a spiritual union, in which we share the deepest longings and aspirations of our hearts with our spouse.  It is supposed to be a context in which we share our spiritual struggles and pray for one another.  It involves sharpening one another, rebuking one another when necessary, edifying one another spiritually, and encouraging one another in Christ.  It is designed to be a deep and lasting friendship, in which a couple serve the Lord together, building one another up in their mutual faith.  A Christian cannot possibly connect on the deepest level of the soul with someone who doesn't share life in Christ."
