Although very imperfectly, and sometimes with great hesitation, we s looking for our own joy in the joy of the other.
And we can testify together: for those who marry, this is the way of the desire of the heart, for us marriage has been a model of Christian hedonism, while each seeks joy in the joy of the other and fulfills a role ordained of God. , the mystery of marriage as a parable of Christ and the Church is manifested, by its great glory and our great joy.
