The Gift of Marriage
I have been very happy in my marriage, thank God. I have a faithful wife, according to Solomon: "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her" (Proverbs 31:11). She spoils nothing for me. Ah, dear Lord God, marriage is not something natural and physical; but it is a gift of God, the sweetest, nay, the most chaste life; it is above all celibacy.
