Gems from Marriage Prep

The teacher: "Think of the difference between someone saying, 'This is my friend; this is my boyfriend; this is my fiance; this is my husband..."
Francisco: "This is Wittgenstein's ordinary language philosophy going on."

The teacher: "Each sacrament has an outward sign. In the case of baptism, it is the water; in the case of the eucharist, it's the consecrated host; in the case of marriage, many people think it is the rings or the unity candle, but it's actually the couple themselves."
(Incidentally, I don't think that's exactly right, but can you believe that some people think it's the unity candle?!)
