In this essay, apologist Kimberly Hahn draws on her years of
experience as a mother of six to explain how the richness of the spiritual
meaning of marriage relates to our everyday life. While the years that follow
the elation of a wedding can be filled with duties that seem meaningless and
repetitive at times, Hahn shows how the theological teachings on Christ’s love
and marriage can give life and meaning to the daily tasks that husband and wife
face. In her own words, “Sure, doing the same chores week after week can get
tedious, but I was trained by my mother to see the spiritual side of things –
it’s possible to rise above the mundane to see the big picture.”
