Always cool when a light goes on in our spiritual walks, Daniel! I love this even though I am at a different stage of life. On a more light hearted tone, never count us old guys out! Lol!

God IS so good for brINgINg thIS INto my field of awareness at the most Perfect time (as always). Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have BEen meditatINg on how God did not design “marriage” to make us happy — He designed “marriage” to make us HOLY. Hence “HOLY MATRIMONY.” He did not design “marriage” for our freshly satisfaction — He designed “marriage” for our SPIRITUAL salvation.

To Matt Walsh’s defence (though I have not tapped INto thIS podcast), as someOne who studies THE WORD and the etymology of Words INtimately …

The term MATRIMONY itSelf reflects the extent to which proCreation and reproduction are central to Holy Matrimony. Its ORIGINs WEave back to LatIN’s "matrimonium." DelvINg INto the etymological roots, WE fINd "matr-" derived from "mater," the Latin Word for “MotHER,” and the suffix "-mony" signifyINg a state of BEINg, function or a role.

The Truth IS that God also Purposed Holy Matrimony to multiply His army and tHerefore His KINGDOM.

Amen!

Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 15And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed
