**St. Gregory also reminds that Matrimony is of this world and therefore transitory, while the things of God remain forever.**

But....does this apply to gay “marriage” too!?!? /s

Interesting - The author admits inexperience in the area of matrimony, and then likens himself to a swimming coach, instructing the swimmer from a coaches perspective. I find this to be a false analogy.

Did not every good swimming coach once have at least a moderately successful run as a swimmer himself?

Further down - Is it true that the world is “governed by a fallen angel”? I was not aware of that, and it seems contrary to the central teachings of the Church.

Such an insight is focused on seeing not only marriage’s joys in their proper and passing perspective, but also its sorrows and difficulties. “Trouble don’t last always.” And in this is a remedy that helps to endure difficulties and to see beyond the crosses to the glory that waits and endures.

That's a good point. In the big picture, we don't live very long.

They should be advised that they not worry themselves so much about what they must endure from their spouse, but consider what their spouse must endure on account of them.

Perfect advice, to be sure.

“Despite what popular culture claims, love isn’t just a bundle of sentiments. Love is, rather, the willingness to endure all sorts of difficulty, hardship, tedium, disappointments, and setbacks for the sake of someone else’s happiness and welfare. Love is another word for sacrifice and responsibility. Love is the greatest thing in life. In many ways, love is life.” - James B. Stenson, “To Be a Man ”
