Raphael – Marriage of the Virgin, 1504
“A Christian marriage is [not] one with no problems or even a marriage with fewer problems. (It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears. It means a marriage in which selfish people can accept selfish people without constantly trying to change them—and even accept themselves, because they realize personally that they have been accepted by Christ.”
… Keith Miller, The Taste of New Wine, Waco, Texas: Word Books, 1965, p. 48
