'This Momentary Marriage'

A book I'll be finding for myself very, very soon.  This was good for my heart today, and I thought I'd share it with you.  :)

"Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically. It is mainly about displaying the covenant-keeping love between Christ and His church. ... Knowing Christ is more important than making a living. Treasuring Christ is more important than bearing children. ...Either way, it is short. It may have many bright days, or may be covered with clouds. But if we set our face to make of marriage mainly what God designed it to be, no sorrows and no calamities can stand in our way. Every one of them will be not an obstacle to success, but a way to succeed. ...The beauty of the covenant-keeping love between Christ and His church shines brightest when nothing but Christ can sustain it. " ~John Piper, 'This Momentary Marriage'
