有人說婚姻中，愛情會慢慢地逝去，
使關係變得淡然無味。
其實是因為我們並沒有明白到，
婚姻是兩個人選擇放下自私，
像打破極珍貴的玉瓶，
香氣才會散發出來。
 
當年馬利亞為耶穌打破最珍貴的膏油，
耶穌説是為祂安葬之用。
婚姻是神設計，不是為了滿足個人私慾，
而是為了展現基督和教會中間無私的愛。
有誰願意這樣打破自己，
以基督捨己的愛去服侍另一半，
使婚姻成為讓人看見基督的馨香之祭？
 
Some say that in marriage, love gradually fades away, making the relationship bland and tasteless. In fact, it is because we do not understand that marriage is the choice of two people who have died to selfishness, like breaking a precious alabaster jar, so that the fragrance to be released.
 
When Mary anointed Jesus with the most precious oil, Jesus said it was for His burial. Marriage is designed by God, not to satisfy personal desires, but to display the selfless love between Christ and the Church. Who is willing to break themselves in this way, serving their partner with Christ's self-giving love, making marriage a fragrant offering that reveals Christ?
