The Marriage Bed: Holy of Holies of the Family

When you look at your marriage bed, just remember that it is here that lives are conceived to give glory to God for all the rest of eternity and Our Lord went to His cross thinking and loving them. This thought alone should fill us with awe and reverence for this sacred space. If it is the altar, then it is also the cross. It is the cross upon which we sacrifice our pride, our selfishness, our lust, all of our sins and vices. We offer them to God through our spouse.
