Advantages of Marriage
Matthew 19:1-12
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee…


If you are for pleasure, marry; if you prize rosy health, marry. A good wife is heaven's best gift to man: his angel of mercy; minister of graces innumerable; his gem of many virtues; his casket of jewels; her voice, his sweetest music; her smiles, his brightest day; her kiss, the guardian of his innocence; her arms, the pale of his safety, the balm of his health, the balsam of his life; her industry, his surest wealth; her economy, his safest steward; her lips, his faithful counsellors; her bosom, the softest pillow of his cares; and her prayers, the ablest advocates of heaven's blessing on his head.

(Bp. Taylor.)
