The Catholic Defender Loves His Wife, All Husbands love their wives

Marriage is one of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

It is really the first Covenant between Adam and Eve (Covenant of marriage).  

In the Old Testament, a Covenant is an exchange of persons in contrast to a contract which is an exchange of things.

Marriage fits this perfectly as it mirrors the Covenant God makes with his people.

Pope Pius XII in 1950 at the canonization of St. Maria Goretti warned that in the future the attacks on marriage would be great.

Pope Paul VI recognized the threat as the attack on the family became evident. Not all marriages are blessed as many are conducted outside the Church. Jesus warns, “For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man”.

We know that Jesus blesses valid marriages such as the wedding feast of Cana (John 2:1-12).

Many times I have spoken to couples encouraging them with my triangle formula. Christ is at the top of the triangle, both spouses are at either end of the other two points.

Just as Jesus and Mary were invited by the bridegroom at the wedding of Cana, so too it would be the goal of all Christian marriages to do the same.

You may find that in doing so, you will receive something better than the water turned to wine.

The Lord's blessing upon your marriage is a great sign to be seen for all generations.

Proverbs 18:22 states, “He who finds a wife finds happiness; it is a favor he receives from the Lord”.
