I. Marriage in God’s Plan
1611
Seeing God’s covenant with Israel in the image of exclusive and faithful
married love, the prophets prepared the Chosen People’s conscience for a
deepened understanding of the unity and indissolubility of marriage.102
The books of Ruth and Tobit bear moving witness to an elevated sense of
marriage and to the fidelity and tenderness of spouses. Tradition has always
seen in the Song of Solomon a unique expression of human love, a pure
reflection of God’s love – a love “strong as death” that “many
waters cannot quench.”103
