MARRIAGE MATTERS

(www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk)
First Sunday of Lent (Genesis 2:7-9; 3: 1-7    Romans 5:12-19    Matthew 4:1-11)

Avoid independence

Today, both Eve and Jesus are tempted to become independent, to turn away from the love of God. In marriage, we can think we have a right to fulfil our own desires without considering our partner, but we need to share these deepest hopes and dreams, and be prepared to hear the impact on our loved one and our relationship.
