Heart-Breaking

JT quotes RC Sproul. IT is a moving tribute to holding hands with his now deceased wife. It is deeply personal and outstanding. To spring from it to comment on something else is to, in a way, defame it. I do not wish to do so, but Sproul says something outstanding in the middle of it all:
It is a liturgy, an ordinary habit of remembrance to see more clearly the extraordinary reality of two being made one.
The first time I read that it brought tears to me eyes. Not only about their marriage, but about the church. The church seems to fight liturgy so hard. "We don't want to be staid and boring."

Should we not be at least as in love with our Lord as we are with our spouses?
