Of all the moral teachings that our Lord gave us during His time on earth, He was never more specific in His instruction than when He discussed marriage. The Pharisees tested Jesus on this particular teaching by referencing the law that permitted divorce which had been given to them through Moses. In order to fulfill the law, our blessed Lord both explains the rationale behind the concession that Moses made in regards to divorce and elevates our understanding of marriage by returning us to an original interpretation of marriage as it is described in the Book of Genesis. |

The Beatles wrote a song that was the sensation of 1967: All You Need Is Love. This the same point was made a few years earlier by an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church. |
I would have been married 25 years come Tuesday.
WOULD have, but he decided that marraige was a game for three.
I didn't.
I don't regret walking away either.
