Words from the wise

Here's a short blurb from John Piper's book This Momentary Marriage. His perspective on marriage (and life) is radical compared to the world's but real, and all, single, married, divorced or separated, should consider deeply his words...

Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically; it is mainly about displaying the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his church. Knowing Christ is more important than making a living. Treasuring Christ is more important than bearing children. Being united to Christ by faith is a greater source of marital success than perfect sex and double income prosperity.
