RELATED TO GOD
To put it simply, marriage is a relationship far more engrossing than we want it to be . . . This is what true religion is supposed to do. It is supposed to remind us that God is not an idol of our own making, not a human invention, not a concept or a theory or a projection or extension of ourselves, not a tool–any more than a marriage partner is a tool. No, the bizarre fact of the matter is that God, while invisible, really is there–out there, beyond our wildest dreams. He is a living Being with personhood, a true Other Whom we can know with all the full-color intimacy and immediacy with which we know ourselves and the person we love- -and yet much more–and with which we sense that we are known in return. From The Mystery of Marriage, by Mike Mason, p. 34
