Marriage

  1. "A marriage isn’t two people finding ultimate fulfillment in each other; it’s people joining up as partners to pursue some higher good together, helping each other along out of love for the other." (1/14/13)
  2. "what the state means by “marriage” and what Catholics mean by “marriage” are radically different, and that what the state means by “marriage” is wrong." -George Weigel (11/15/12)
  3. Thinking of marriage as just a piece of paper is like thinking of a college education as just a diploma.
  4. "The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults" -Peter de Vries (2/19/12)
  5. “It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.” 
     Fulton J. SheenSeven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary (2/29/12)
