Sons And Husbands

Sons who grow up to become fathers are husbands first.  In their minds, sons who have not a perfect mother could be looking for a perfect mother for their children.  Those who are Catholic may think of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the model for the perfect spouse and the perfect mother.  Indeed, She is both.  As the spouse of God, the Virgin Mary was perfectly obedient and as the Mother of Jesus, She was unconditionally loving.  While no woman was and will ever be like the Virgin Mary, no man should ever expect his spouse to be perfectly obedient for he is not God and no son should expect unconditional love from his mother for he is not Christ.
