About This Quote
The question is not whether a marriage is going to be successful or not, but what is going to make it work. A husband and wife who engage in physical intimacy first, before they engage in spiritual intimacy, is a recipe for disaster. The most important thing a marriage can do is to be holy and pure. Sex is not the only way to sanctify the marriage, but it has been given this reputation because it can be used as a tool to sanctify the marriage.
