New Realms of God’s Presence

Through the Blessing of marriage given by the Reverend and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, God is opening up new realms of His presence in the world.

God’s true love can enter into every family in the love children have for their parents, the love of brothers and sisters, the conjugal love shared by husband and wife, and the love parents have for their children. These are the four great realms of heart. 

God’s power can enter through the love of grandparents, the love of parents, and the love of children, with a dignity the Holy Books attributes to true men and women. The “realm of the royal family’ means that we all become relatives in one great family of humankind. Everyone in the human family has the dignity and grace of kings and queens, princes and princesses. 

This is eternal true love within the family. Through the Blessing we renounce the false love (most specifically: adultery, extra-marital sex and homosexuality) which has polluted the human family throughout history, and commit together with God to building a world of true love. Based upon this commitment to God on your part, your marriage is an eternal marriage, as real in the spirit world as on earth. 

This is solemnized through four vows, affirming that you will become: 
 

A true man or woman who practices sexual purity and life for the sake of others; 

A true husband or wife who establishes an eternal family, never to divorce 

A parent who rears your children to  follow the tradition of true love - no sex before marriage; and 

An ideal family which, by supporting other families, contributes to world peace. 

Explanation of the Blessing 
The Blessing has five steps, each with its own purpose and significance. It is important that we understand and deeply appreciate the value of each step.
