III. The Love of Husband and Wife
St. John Chrysostom suggests that young husbands should say to their
wives: I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life
itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend
it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the
life reserved for us…. I place your love above all things, and nothing would
be more bitter or painful to me than to be of a different mind than
you.149
