When we live outside of the will of God (the Word of God) we suffer the consequences. I’m sorry for those who refuse God’s love and instructions.

100% agree. But from where comes the faith and grace to live within God's will? Is that some effort we "gin up" by ourselves? No - that faith is a gift so that none should boast.

I'm sure it goes without saying that suffering is not merely the lot of the damned. In this world it is expected that believers will suffer greatly. Just ask those living in Arab countries.

I would counsel too: don't be like the like the older brother in the parable of the prodigal who could only grump and complain when his brother finally turned from sin and returned to his Father.

So too, the couple in this story did the right thing and got married - rejoice! Don't be a grump...
