This week in the readings we hear God speak about marriage as he established it from the beginning.  Men were created for women and women were created for men to form families and to raise children.  Through marriage God shares with humanity his creative power as husbands and wives come together, and with God, create another human being.  It’s an interesting dynamic, in that being parents, there is an interesting opportunity to understand God.  God and parents have created their children.  God and parents both love their children and provide their needs.  God and parents both give their children rules to live by and encourage them to follow them so that they might live well here on earth and in heaven.  God and parents makes sacrifices for their children so they may receive an abundant life filled with many blessings.  Understanding this I pray will bring all parents closer to God and faithfulness to him as they seek the same things for their children.
