This is a good reminder: “Two sinners have married.”

Cynics don’t know what to do with that info. But followers of Christ can humbly reflect on that truth, to the benefit of their marriages.

As an aside this type of thinking, the self flagellation, to impugn yourself is just as corrosive as “sinning”. We are not BORN sinners, we sin as an conscious act of rebellion. This is bad theology a construct of the nan made religion. A dog is born to bark, a bird to fly, a dolphin to swim. We are not born to murder, steal and cheat on our wives. We are born perfect, not corrupted or flawed. We CHOOSE to act one way or another. Adam ran and hid in the garden not because he was disgusting in God’s eyes but because he PERCIEVED himself as disgusting. A distinction with a difference.
