Expound the line: There is immortality in mortality

Matrimony is a holy sacrament in which a man and a woman will be
married. Through this sacrament, man and woman become one and the two shall
become one flesh. Both share the same vows in front of Him that they will
faithfully abide, for they share common things which are love and faith.
Based on the poem To the man I married by Angela Manalang-Gloria, it
tells the unconditional and unending love of the wife to her husband. She
considers her husband to be her world as she tells the reader that she wouldnt
survive without her Earth. Her husband provides everything that she needs,
which in return, she gives her genuine love to his husband until the last day of
her life.
Marriage also shows the religious faith of man and woman. Both pledged
in front of Him, that the two will be together endlessly through thick and thin.
Even though it seems like the wife only needs her husband to survive, she never
forgets to acknowledge His presence which shows her eternal faith in Him.
We give genuine love to the person who deserves it, a person who will
appreciate and love us back. On the other hand, faith in God guides us to the
right path, a path that will lead us to Him with the right person. Love and faith are
some of the things that are permanent in this temporary world.
