John Bunyan:
“Marriage is a divine ordinance established by God for the propagation of mankind and the mutual support and comfort of husband and wife. It is a holy covenant entered into before God, in which a man and a woman pledge their love and fidelity to one another. In marriage, husband and wife are called to live together in love and harmony, sharing their joys and sorrows, and supporting each other in all circumstances. They are to be faithful companions and faithful partners, helping one another grow in grace and godliness. Marriage is a reflection of God’s love and faithfulness to His people, and it is to be honored and cherished by all.” (From “The Pilgrim’s Progress”)
