• "Life is short. Love her well."

  "Life is short.   Love her well."

  If one believed that one's life with one's wife was only going to be a couple decades, say 50 years, and then that was it... no more marriage to her or anyone else, ever again, for all of eternity....    only one "short" chance to display the example/model/emulation/showcase of Christ's love for His Church, to a cynical world....

  If one further believed that one's life with one's wife was going to be VERY VERY short because in view of the path their lives were taking, they would soon be placed in situations where she was going to be taken away from him...  either in sickness/death, or by prison walls, or by kidnapping and being sold as a slave/concubine, never to be heard from again....  and that the same bereavement would soon happen to one's children...   Granted that one had the courage to actually marry if those beliefs were held....

  What would that husband's love look like?
