Most of us are busy with Easter activities this coming weekend, so I wanted to give you an early reminder. If you’re planning to join us for Marriage Monday on April 5, 2010 (right after Easter Sunday) you have a couple of extra days to prepare your entry.

To make things "real simple" I’d like to offer an open topic. Feel free to choose your own title, and share your perspective on Christian marriage in whatever way the Spirit leads you.

Spring Giveaway

As a little extra incentive to participate on Monday, I’m offering a special giveaway this month. Anyone who links their Marriage Monday post has the opportunity to win this pretty blue coffee mug for spring!
(Click here to see more pieces in this great collection.)

The winner of my drawing will be announced on Friday April 9, 2010.

The New Covenant & Jewish Wedding Customs

As we glide through Holy Week this week, I’ve been thinking about Jesus of Nazareth’s short life on this earth; his charism of celibacy; and his prophetic words about a future wedding feast with his glorious Bride, the Church.

When he introduced the New Covenant to his disciples during the Last Supper, Jesus made reference to some first-century Jewish wedding customs. In my Marriage Monday post, I’m planning to unpack the meaning of a few of those fascinating pre-nuptial symbols.

I’m sure your post will be interesting to read, whatever you decide to write about.
