A STAND-ALONE NOVELLA She offered him marriage -- not out of love, but because she had misunderstood the true meaning behind God's word about marriage, to the point that she began to fancy the idea of it -- of being a wife. He agreed because of his deep love for her. Even with no assurance she'd ever love him back, he chose to love without condition -- patiently, prayerfully, and with hope. Not to gain her, but to give himself. Let's walk through their marriage as God binds their uneven beginning. PS: This story is written entirely in English.
