Weddings and Wedlock: Insights from the Church Fathers on Happiness, Marriage, and Wedding Celebrations

Marriage has existed since the creation of mankind, and wedding festivities celebrate one of the most joyous milestones in life. This book outlines the framework for identifying the characteristics of a wedding celebration that is truly joyous by inviting our Lord Jesus Christ to attend. The method used to accomplish this is broken down into three parts.

Part 1: The origin, intent, and purpose of human life and joy are explored through God's creative design, as understood by the early Church. This systematic patristic theology of joy provides the necessary foundation for recognizing how early Christians understood happiness.

Part 2: The early Church understanding of marriage (wedlock) and the historic relationship between the Eucharist and crowning ceremony are closely examined. Alexandrian marriage rites dating from the 14th century are translated and made accessible to English readers for the first time.

Part 3: The Wedding of Cana is detailed from a historical perspective. This section examines the setting, environment, and customs that our Lord was directly exposed to and willingly interfaced with. The Church Fathers are revisited to see what insights they offer for each of those customs, giving the reader the ability to define the practices and customs of contemporary wedding celebrations that are befitting our Lord's presence and those that are not.

We pray that this work proves to be a source of encouragement for everyone who is pursuing marriage, those already married, and all who attend wedding receptions to pursue the blessings and joy found in our Lord alone.

My German Shepherd loves it!
Color: Blue
My GSD loves this thing! It bounces and the rope thing wiggles and spins. She is supervised while playing with it. The charge lasts about an hour or so. The only thing that is a little annoying is it makes a little barking sound on one of the settings. It screws apart for easy access. So far she's not been able to destroy it but she has opened it so definitely supervise playing time. It rolls around and bounces on the carpet and on the hard floor it jumps a little bit. Can be loud on hard floors. It's a soft rubber kinda texture that is easy to rinse off and clean. Probably best for indoor use or use on decks or patios. Keeps her very engaged and I have a blast watching her and playing with her with this thing!

Not for chewers
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Ok, first off, my dog absolutely loved this toy. Still loves it. However: it only took him two days to utterly destroy the part that made it interactive. The rope fastened to the small interior plastic part that is moved by the rechargeable motor was too soft for him and he chewed it off right at the root, where it attached. This makes the toy immobile. It still makes noise and vibrates, but it no longer leaps and bounces. So now he carries it around while it vibrates inside his jaws and I watch his ears jiggle and make sure he doesn’t eat the whole thing. Please note: this is a medium sized Corgi, not a huge dog like a Rottweiler. There is no way to add a new rope to that interior plastic piece: they are made as an inseparable unit. You have to buy the full replacement set which includes a new cover. I would recommend this toy for someone whose dog is NOT a chewer. For someone whose dog loves to chase, and is excited by noise. If those pesky squirrels chattering outside really get to him, this toy will be his new favorite. But if your dog likes to chew and has more than two teeth in his mouth, this toy is not a great choice and you should spend your money on something that will last a bit longer. It’s not a good value for the money. I bought this original toy and a replacement cover+rope set, and I’m not going to give him the replacement cover for a long, long time. I can’t afford to replace these every few days! Thankfully he still loves the toy despite the fact that it doesn’t run away from him, and hasn’t tried to eat the foam covering, so it’s just the softness of the rope I am disappointed in. But I’m not going to buy this again and can’t recommend it highly, based on my experience, despite my dog loving it and the joy I get watching his ears shake as he trots around the house holding onto this expensive mouth vibrator.

Not worth it - (2nd day of having product)
Color: Orange
Fun toy out of the box - Frenchie dog. Charge does not last long. Even with recharging, the motor seems weaker. It asks to keep the charging port dry, but it is not slobber-proof, so when opened, the entire inside is wet - I have to blow-dry the charging port in order to be able to recharge it Day 2 - movement is so weak, but it shows full charge. Barking sound is no longer audible. If you have a chewer... not great as it is easily broken apart. Not really worth it. At least it's cheaper on Amazon than their website.

Interactive Dog Toy
Color: Orange
My 100 lb shephard/golden mix likes this toy but she tends to get agitated with it. I have to keep an eye on her because she destroys toys in record time. The only complaint I really have is once she gets interested and plays for a long time it needs to be charged and she doesn't want me to take it to be charged. Wish the charge lasted a little longer or there were two of the inner parts so one could charge while she is playing with the second one. The plastic ball could be made of rubber so the teeth marks don't show up.
