On marriage and family

Before we get started, please read the previous article, here; Ultimate list of love study, and be sure to check out my latest on Locals (something I wanted to talk about, here, though, not just AI data centers, but about man's stewardship of creation), here; Man's dominion over God's creation and AI data centers

Not bad for someone who has never been married (not that I don't want to be, I DO).  Please, treat marriage seriously.  Matrimony is a lifelong commitment.  I really wish people stopped thinking of it as a contract, and started thinking of it as a sacrament.  

A good wife is the crown of her husband (Eastern Christians, including Eastern Catholics, call matrimony the mystery or sacrament of crowning)

Don't denigrate marriage (It is a Sacrament, not just a contract)
What to look for in a wife or husband (The Bible gives some good advice on that, and I think a lot of people searching for a spouse will benefit from this)

Thank you, Dad (my father died when I was nine years old, and I wanted to pay my respects to him.  The Good book admonises us to honour our parents).

Emotional infidelity and the culpability of sin (Yes, this happened to me, and it was not the easiest thing to talk about)

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house
Children are a blessing (one that I wish that people would understand more)

And PLEASE remember, marriage is supposed to be until death; (Mark 10:1-8)
