This is a tour de force of its kind.

Try this. In some homes, when the spouses part for the day, a kiss is exchanged. However they FEEL at the time, whether sleepy or amorous, affectionate or withdrawn, close or distant, the exchange of a kiss is a courtesy and a pledge to their shared commitment.

If that kiss were the only way they showed their commitment and love, something would be wrong. But the absence of that parting kiss may also show that something is wrong, possibly very wrong.

Also, it is always interesting to a Catholic to be taken to task for praying with the Scriptures.

We were talking about pre-printed words, responses and you jump to a kiss. LOL! What does that leave - there is no verbal communication in a catholic household?

It's more interesting why they speak of Scripture since it's not their Final Authority. One can't serve two masters.
