GOOD MEN, GOOD WOMEN, Bad Men, Bad Women

No question is more common among young adults in the Church than how they can find a good person to marry – yet very few ask how they can become that good spouse someone else is seeking. What does it mean to be a “good man” or a “good woman”, as far as the experience of the Holy Tradition , Scripture, and saints teach us? How to we go about becoming such a person – or should we just wait around an expect one of the “good ones” to come to us?

"Ours must be an orthodoxy of the heart, not just the mind."

-St.Tikhon of Zadonsk
