God’s covenant faithfulness is our measure, our norm. The faithful love of Christ models the Christian man’s marriage covenant. Jesus does not love the church because it is pure and spotless – He purifies the church in order to make it spotless. Just so, godly husbands love their wives despite their wives’ blemishes, not until they get blemishes. Thus we do not size up our wives each week to decide if we will love them a while longer. The idea of ever-fresh decisions, even decisions to stay faithful, is naïve.

NOTES : _The Jewish Holday Kitchen_, Joan Nathan. Schocken Books, New York:
1988. This delicious haroset recipe comes from the famous Luzzato family of
Venice. Members of the family have lived in Italy since 1541 and probably
before. names like Benedetto Luzzato, Simone Luzzato, M oses Haim Luzzato
and Samuel David Luzzato were well known to Italians from the Renaissance
to the Enlightenment as authors, professors and rabbis. Francis Luzzato of
Washington DC works for the Peac e Corps and is a keeper of family
traditions; this is his family's recipe.
