“I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable.”

G.K. Chesterton · What's Wrong with the World (1910)

Scripture

1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love one another fervently, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Reflection

Marriage is impossible without friction and differences, but true love persists even when incompatibilities are obvious. It requires tolerance, patience, and forgiveness, not just in the outpouring of emotion but also in daily actions and will. In God's grace, love can mask each other's shortcomings, resolve conflicts, and strengthen and grow a marriage, becoming a path that glorifies God and completes each other.
