The Wedlock Mystery

By Jasmine Hunter

As my first purpose, however, is to show the aesthetic value of marriage, and how it is distinguished from passion for its ethical and religious character.

In so far as this character expresses itself in a particular act, in the nuptial blessing, I will stop in that act. That way I won't seem to make my task too easy, and I'll avoid the slightest appearance of concealing the schism between passion and marriage, a schism that so many others, and you yourself, insist on, despite having different reasons.

You are absolutely right, it must be recognized, when you claim that if so many people admit this schism, the reason is that they lack the energy and culture necessary to reflect on both subjects.

But let us take a closer look at the nuptial blessing and its liturgy. In the words that follow, you will perhaps find me sufficiently armed, but be assured; none of this will be done at my wife's expense.

Because she complacently sees me keeping thieves like you and your peers at bay. I am of the opinion, moreover, that if the Christian must always be willing to confess his faith, the spouse must also be able to justify the marriage, not precisely to any person whom it occurs to ask him, but to whom he considers worthy.
