Explain what the quote is saying. • Design and include your own symbol of marriage • Mk 10:8-9, Mal 2:15 SACRAMENT The two become one flesh in a gift of self to each other: like Christ gave himself for his people. Gen1:28 • SELF-GIVING Jer 31:3, Isa. 62:5 • FAITHFUL, LIFE-LONG Gen 2:24, Ephesians 5:25 • LIFE-GIVING In a Church marriage, couples receive God’s grace that makes them one, and makes their love holy. What God has united, man must not divide. God blessed them and said “be fruitful and multiply” . So sexual union is life giving; man and woman discover the gift of mother/ fatherhood. Married love reflects the way God loves his people - with unfailing, constant love. *** Look up and explain what Corinthians 13:4-7 & Ephesians 5:22-32 say about how spouses should treat each other.
