One afternoon, a man and his friend were sitting in a cafe, drinking tea, and talking about life and love.
“How come you never got married?” asked his friend.
“Well,” he said, “to tell you the truth, I spent my youth looking for the perfect woman. I once met a beautiful and intelligent woman, with eyes like dark olives… but she was unkind.
Then I met a woman who was a wonderful and generous soul… but we had no interests in common. One woman after another would seem just right… but there would always be something missing.
Then one day, I met her. She was beautiful, intelligent, generous and kind. We had everything in common. In fact, she was perfect.”
“Well … what happened? Why didn’t you marry her?”
He sipped his tea reflectively. “Well,” he replied, “It’s a sad thing. It seems she was looking for the perfect man.”
Jesus has a lot to say about relationships, including marriage and its dissolution, that of divorce.
We’ll talk about it this Sunday. I hope you will join us.
Enjoy the extra hour of sleep by turning your clocks back 1 hour this Saturday night.
