CONGRATULATIONS ON THE CELEBRATION OF YOUR SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY, TREVOR JOHN STOKES AND AIMEE MARIA DALESSANDRO TODAY MONDAY AUGUST 9, 2010 AT SAN GERARDO CONFESSORE GALLINARO DIOCESI DI SORA-AQUINO PONTECORVO ITALIA BY REV FR PAUL IKECHUKWU OGUJIOFFOR (OKIGWE DIOCESE)
Marriage is a covenant, hence ought to be kept and seen as such. If we believe it is a covenant then it demands love and sacrifice from both the husband and the wife, for no third party is needed for the execution of solemn promise made before the people of God in the Church by both of you (TREVOR JOHN and AIMEE MARIA) on this day Monday August 9, 2010, because whatever God has joined nobody should put asunder (Mk.10:9).
Indeed this is a real and sincere concrete act of love, hence an appreciation of marriage dignity. Be aware that the slogan: “Variety is the spice of life” has no foundation in real and concrete conjugal love in marriage life. This is because it is a Sacrament of Love, the Mystery and Covenant of infinite togetherness; not a contract of love.
Marriage is all about sacrificial love and covenant,
Manifested in the consent when each couple says,
“In good health and in sickness, in riches and in poverty, I will love you till death do us part”,
Therefore any thing outside of this sacrificial love and covenant is bigamy, concubinism, adultery, promiscuity, moral licentiousness or immoral living within the marriage wedlock.

Therefore, sincerity is the key to openness,
Openness is a short cut to appreciation in marriage,
Appreciation is an expression codified in acceptance of each persons imperfections,
Acceptance is the foot-match towards expression of genuine marital love.

In concreteness there is full of relationship,
Relationship is the manifestation of feelings,
Feelings in marital reactions help each couple to grow,
Hence, this growth finds fulfillment in the promise at the exchange of consent.

Love is that which we cannot be tired of given,
Progress of marital concern cannot be devoid of charity,
Charity makes way to concreteness,
Therefore concreteness cannot be hidden in marriage.

Hence both of you (TREVOR JOHN and AIMEE MARIA) as you are celebrating your Sacrament of Matrimony today Monday August 9, 2010 the feast of Saint Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein) of the Cross, always be aware that the word MARRIAGE uniquely reminds both of you as one body these things:
M - MARRIAGE is a covenant keep to it.
A - ADMIT the things you cannot change in life.
R - RESPECT is a must to be shown to each other.
R - REASONING together for the smooth going of the family is an obligation.
I - IMITATE the Holy Family (JESUS, MARY and JOSEPH) in the Bible and INSIST on good moral behaviours of your children when they come.
A - ACCEPT each person’s imperfection and ADD his or her virtues to yours.
G - GIVE no third party a chance in your marriage, so that what God has joined nobody should put asunder.
E - ENCOURAGING each other ought to be a daily duty.
