In today’s lesson, we are reminded of God’s purpose and design for marriage—the loving union between a man and a woman that reflects God’s love for his people, Christ’s love for his Church. Canon Jonathan debunks two common misconceptions about marriage: first, that “marriage doesn’t matter”; and second, that “our marriage is about us.” We ought to esteem marriage; but ultimately, the love between a man and a woman is not what matters most. For marriage is and always has been an indicator something greater—the love of Christ for the Church. And it is for this love that all Christians, married and unmarried alike, fervently await.
