Where unhappiness exists in a relationship, I would submit that such isn’t the price of holiness but a sign of sin. It is an indication that one or both partners is holding to the wrong value system, that of self-love. When husbands and wives love each other with agape, they meet the deepest needs God designed to be met in the very manner He intended. The result is a joy that is complete and a relationship where happiness is the fruit of holiness and meaning is the consequence of a loving relationship.","author":"—James Castleton","tags":["god-s-will","happiness","marriage-life"],"id":48842,"author_id":"%E2%80%94James+Castleton"},{"text":"People do not get married planning to divorce.
