(III) 12.Love like Christ! Submit like the Church!

Why do marriages break down, why do these schools not produce graduates – the happy ones?! Because they use marriage not for its intended purpose, but the opposite: instead of loving, learning to love – they (the spouses) want love, demand, extract, kill, torture each other for the sake of love for themselves!? Instead of acquiring humility, humbling themselves – they hurry to humble each other, seize power and dominate over the marriage companion! So, they use marriage exactly the opposite of the Creator’s design! Therefore, one marriage after another breaks down, and in them, unique human fates that the current of time carries into the abyss – divorce after divorce! And those marriages that formally have not broken up, are tombs where the dead are buried, who have tired of extracting love from the other and simply live out – they have nowhere to go… There are few marriages where the husband and wife daily take up their cross (of ascetic self-denial and vigilance in the Truth) and, serving each other in humility, step by step go to Christ! And where could they come from in this generation – adulterous and unfaithful! The standard of marriage is lost – there are no Parish-Eucharists, and there is no prophet to point out the Truth to this dark people, led by blind guides (heretics of various kinds): both about the Church (Marriage with Christ in the Parish-Eucharist) and about the marriage of a man and a woman (the image of the Church)!

Marriage is an instrument-means of this age, here there is “mine”: my wife, my husband, my children… In the Kingdom of God – there is no “mine”: my wife – here (in the second form of existence) my wife, and in the Kingdom of God she is no longer mine, but “mine” as well as everyone’s hypostasis! In the Church, the Kingdom of God, there is neither male nor female, neither Jew nor Greek… In this age they marry, are given in marriage, but in the future age there are no marriages (no one marries or is given in marriage) – all are in hypostatic, perichoretic unity, like the angels of God! Marriage is an instrument-path of this age, so that with the help of the correct use of marital bonds, a man and a woman acquire humble love, become catholic personalities, and enter the Kingdom of God! And the pagans, poor, lament: will they be together there, beyond the grave, will they see their loved ones, etc. The graduates of marriage are those who love all people as much as their wife (husband). Because the one who has loved at least one person, in them has loved the whole world, just as the Father in the Only Begotten, Beloved (with unique Father’s Love) Son Loves the whole world!

A boy seeks love for himself, and the girl is not stupid – she wants to be loved! That is, they long for, strive for, dream of what they already have in abundance (both the boy and the girl are already Intensely Loved, God Himself Loves and Blesses them, makes them Happy every moment – creates heavenly blissful conditions for each! – every moment every person is in the paradise given to them – see God’s providence)! And what they actually need, what they are truly in need of, poor, empty – Love, – they do not Love; and Love – this is a gift from God (it is not from us – it is a gift from Heaven, the gift of the Holy Spirit, more precisely – the Holy Spirit Himself), which is received on the cross of ascetic self-denial with a humble and contrite heart! And no one wants the cross – they hate it (the cross path to acquiring humility, and as a result, Love)!? What is the only thing necessary, what is the only thing to long for – strength, courage, discretion, patience on the path of self-denial and cross-bearing, following the Truth-Christ, to acquire Love (which is the only thing we lack for Happiness!), – they hate, reject with disgust, as madness, absurdity, as a hindrance on the way to happiness; and what is hell, the path to hell, – they long for with all their lustful being! So, the couple dreams of hell, and strives to go (and goes!) the path of pleasurable satisfaction of their deadly lusts, which they call “love”; they long for hell – comfortable satisfaction of their passions, asserting themselves in egoism and selfness! The cross is quickly thrown off by the newlyweds… – divorce, and the search for the next victim, who will create “paradise” for me – hell… but the other one – an egoist and pleasure-seeker (who is also not stupid – came to take, not to give, to accept blessings, not to bless!) will quickly disappoint… – divorce, and again the search (if there is still something alive, which wants, desires?!) for the next victim… And they do not understand, poor things, that they are not looking for happiness there! And who will tell them – dark pagans? The heretics of the UOC KP do not know where happiness is, what marriage is, what the Church is… and even if they knew, they still would not tell anyone or help to understand the way to happiness – they (the ecclesiological (and not only!) modern heretics) do not care about anyone: each for themselves!
