Matthew 19:3-12

No-one should seek to share another's life without due thought and circumspection. All who seek close union with another take upon themselves responsibility for their happiness and well-being so far as lies within their power. Faithfulness is necessary, and integrity in relationship, honesty, and willingness to meet differences with charity and readiness to communicate in all things.

Each follower of Mine will seek the Father's will in all things, and most of all in choice of husband or of wife or close relationship of any kind. Relationships with others will either progress the Father's will and purpose or be a stumbling-block along the way,

To love one's neighbour as oneself provides the key to happiness and maturity of life: and to love the Father above all things the means and the fulfilment of all life and living.

All who seek to live in love with God and with their fellowmen receive the means as they are faithful to that which they perceive at their soul's centre - as they pursue their way in faithfulness.
