What Makes a Healthy Marriage?

From the March 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A healthy marriage represents sound, whole, and essentially spiritualized thought. It is achieved and maintained by faithful adherence to the Christianly scientific premise of perfect God, Spirit, perfect man, and perfect universe. Christian Scientists are proving this daily in their marital relations.

Can a sick marriage be healed by the same method employed in Christian Science to cure other ills? Certainly, since the primary prescription is an individual change of thought. Mrs. Eddy points out that "Christian Science destroys material beliefs through the understanding of Spirit, and the thoroughness of this work determines health."Science and Health, p. 186; It can determine the health of the marriage covenant.

A clear realization of the spiritual facts involved can help the state of matrimony individually and collectively and destroy the material beliefs that would plague marriage. Our treatment can cleanse, revitalize, regenerate, this solemn contract and strengthen and support marriage universally.
