What men want in a wife? - A Chiasmus?

Best Blogger Tips

Monday 24 August 2009

Sorry if you're reading this because you want the answer to the question in the title. I only used it because in this article, "What men want in a wife?", there is a brilliant chiasmus by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as quoted by Justin Moffatt, who the article also states is Kevin Rudd's Hero (Bonhoeffer that is, not Moffatt). Anyway enough fluffing around, here is the paragraph and chiasmus:

    "Moffatt explains that along with the two individuals involved, the wedding itself, and the vows made, is the third dynamic in a marriage. He cites Kevin Rudd's hero, German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who wrote of marriage as "a status, an office", and something more than personal. "It is not your love that sustains the marriage," Bonhoeffer wrote to a couple about to wed, "but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love."
