Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel gives advice to those looking for a partner

“Those who are married, tough luck, ok, You can’t do much about that. I can’t help you. Those who are about to search for a partner, for the boys, I beg you. Don’t look for someone who is good looking from the outside. Yes, I’m not saying marry someone that is going to frighten you every morning you wake up. But I’m just saying, marry someone that is reasonably good looking, but that should not be your main focus. Your main focus, my dear son, look for a girl that loves Jesus Christ. I beg of you. Look for a girl that loves the Lord. You know why? Because if you find a girl that loves Jesus, you will never be afraid of her because the Lord who is in her, will teach her to do nothing but good for you. Because He is the good teacher. So you will not fear her because she is always good. She loves the Lord. And my girl, when you look for a guy, don’t look for a guy that drives a convertible BMW or Mercedes Benz or Ferrari. No, no, no. Don’t look for tattoes and big muscles and good looking and blond and…We won’t see that in the Middle Eastern culture anyway. But look for a guy that is willing to put his life on the line for you. Look for a guy that is willing to put his life on the line for you. And you, my son, look for a girl that loves Jesus. And you my daughter, look for a guy that is willing to put his life on the line for you.

This is what Jesus, as the man, did for His bride, the woman. He died for her on the cross and He expected from her the return of love. That’s why the woman, the Church. put this cross, which is nothing but shame, humility in the eyes of the world, she said, what is humility to the world, what is degradation to the world? It is the crown of my glory for my man died for me. Now, that’s what I call a man.”
