Annuit Matrimony

The covenant of
matrimony, a sacred
bond forged in the

divine Fires, is
both a blessing and a curse.
A golden mean of

contractual vice
and virtue. A sublime mix
of double X and

single X and Y
and the Architect of the
Universe. One cord

weaved together
with three strands as promised by
Ecclesiastes

chapter Four and verse
Twelve. It is not easily
shattered apart.

And yet, why are men
and women breaking their vows?
Jeopardy is a

game show, not a state
of nature that the marriage
should be in at all.

Adultery and
addiction and abuse and
differences seen

as unable to
be reconciled. Humans
are unclean, broken

creations, sinful,
full of vinegar, lye and
spite. Emotions are

the kerosene that
powers human events and
undertakings. If

we followed the
edicts of God close to the
letter, the married

life is always worth
living, no matter the storm,
no matter the trial.

Man and woman are
in covenant when they take
their vows before the

Altar of the Most
High Jesus Christ. The fleshly
unity is the

proper way for the
genders to live. Annuit
Coeptis to them!

OK, a few pieces in now and I've got fractals spinning in my head! As far as syllable counting goes, I was thrown off a bit. Partially due to dialect. This is brilliant, to be sure.

I absolutely agree!! Its really cool to see that you are a brother in Christ as well. (:
