Yesterday was our 37th wedding anniversary. This is what Archimandrite Aimilianos of Simonopetra has to say about marriage. A CALL TO MARRIAGE IS A CALL TO UNITE WITH JESUS CHRIST Marriage is first of all a journey of pain; second a journey of love; and, third, a journey to heaven, a call from God. It is, as the Holy Scripture says, a great mystery. A mystery is the sign of the mystical presence of some true person or event. The holy Cross is a symbol of Christ, containing his mystical presence. Marriage too, is a mystery, a mystical presence, not unlike the Cross. Whenever two people are married in the name of Christ, they become the sign which contains and expresses Christ himself. When you see a couple who are conscious of this, it is as if you are seeing Christ. Together they are a theophany. - Archimandrite Aimilianos of Simonopetra
