Hello,
I remember reading this insightful and, at first, astonishing, comment CS Lewis wrote about MARRIAGE in The Four Loves.
Lewis was talking about man being given the role of head of the family but how it isn't the glam job we make it out to be.
Lewis compared a husband's love for his wife with Christ's love for the church, and all its imperfections and weaknesses. It's really a good quote. A paragraph or so, I think.
I'd like to send it to a friend who just got engaged. Why am I sending him a quote about marrying an imperfect woman? Well, ... I could tell you but then I'd be gossipping!
Would anyone be able to post the quote here? I have misplaced my Four Loves book. :(
Thanks!
