What a great read! Spider-Man comes face to face with the Mephisto, who makes an offer: His Marriage or His Aunt.
Ok, so that doesn’t seem so spectacular, but it really does. We don’t see marriage lifted up to the high a place in most places of American media. Here it is. But, it takes a demon to explain it in terms that we can understand.
And I will probably use it as an illustration in a marriage conference one day. The devil seeks to make us miserable, and the one way he tries this is by destroying our marriages. He says;
“What I want is greater than one paltry soul can provide me. What I want is the one thing in the universe that is truly greater than the sum of its parts and tastier than any single soul I could devour.
I want that which gives you joy, that which sustains you in your moments of greatest despair, the source not of your power, but of your strength, your happiness, your dreams, and your passion.
I want your love…
I want your MARRIAGE.”
So be a hero–fight the devil, by fighting for your marriage.
