There is some problem in our society today as far as marital
relations are concerned. God said: “What
God has joined together let not man dare to put asunder” (Mt. 9:5). Immature as many of us are, we think we gain
more exploits the more women or men we indulged in. What happens is a degradation of the quality
of love.
Love was destined to last forever. Marriage is not a joke. It is an exchange of the perpetual vow of
love, as you yourself witness from the ceremony “till death do us part.”
All those who practice love in another way are just
destroying themselves, wasting their energies in non-love. They
will just multiply problems, distractions and wastage of energies, and
hamper growth to maturity and success.
God made the love between a man and a woman to last forever—in its
endurance and depth. Now you cannot call
that deep love that keeps changing partners, as the moderns attempt to do to
enjoy more. What happens is
self-destruction and the hampering of the growth towards maturity, solidity and
success. Infidelity or unfaithful love
breeds disaster. Let us ask God, the
Source of Love, to bless our marriages with enduring union, patience and depth. That’s the usual advice they give to those
who want to avoid AIDS and other venereal diseases: stick to one partner—husband
or wife—in life. Now this means too that
the selection of a life partner should not be a joke but a serious, prayerful
affair. You will be more happy if you
stick and agree to one love. Precisely
the prime purposes of marriage are: procreation of children, mutual support,
satisfaction of physical desire. How can
these be fulfilled if one will advocate separation or flimsy relationships?
