The Miracle of Marriage

When the priest performed the wedding ceremony for my husband and me, he emphasized that we were participating in a miracle. We believed him, but we didn’t comprehend the size of the miracle needed to hold two people together, much less become one.

After 20 years, I realize that the marriage, not the wedding, was the real miracle. Anyone can have a wedding but only God can create a marriage.

One definition of wed is to “cause to adhere devotedly or stubbornly”. For some couples, “stubborn” is a more accurate description of their relationship than “devoted”.
