When Two Become One<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"FaithWhen discussing marriage, Bishop Macedo emphasizes that God expects practical expressions of faith<\/strong>, similar to the commitments required in matrimony<\/strong>. He explains that true love<\/strong> transcends mere emotions; it is complete surrender<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on their 54 years of marriage<\/strong>, Bishop Macedo notes that he and Mrs. Ester both decided to dedicate their lives to each other from the very beginning. He became hers, and she became his<\/strong>. This decision embodies true love<\/strong>, characterized by complete self-giving<\/strong> and genuine commitment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faith, Love, and Relationship With God<\/strong><\/h4>\n

According to Bishop Macedo, when husband and wife fully surrender to one another, they become one flesh,<\/strong> as taught in the Word of God<\/strong>. This principle also applies to our relationship with God<\/strong>: \u201cTo love God<\/strong> means to surrender completely<\/strong>, consciously, in practice, and definitively,\u201d<\/span> he states.<\/p>\n
