Ez. 15, 16

The prophet declares the painful penalty of unfaithfulness upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem likening her to a prostitute who is horribly abused. Her natural beauty was used for immoral purposes and she suffers greatly at the hands of lustful lovers.

So much of God’s relationship with man is represented by the holy love of a man with a woman. Christ and the Bride, the Church, are prime actors in this portrayal.

Marriage is to be a holy, earthly example of God’s love for His People.

My mom and dad have exemplified a true love relationship their entire lives, especially now that they are in their nineties. You should see them.
