Theological / Devotional

With her love. A man’s love for his wife should be a strong affection that enters into every facet of life. It should be —in a good sense—an obsession, so that nothing is thought or done without being affected by the thought of the one who shares the life. In this sense love is an inebriation. The word for “ravished” may literally mean “intoxicated”.
