Reason #3 The Eucharist & Jon Bon Jovi

Christ's words "this is my body given up for you" is what every man is supposed to be saying to his wife in the marital embrace. Would our world have such a high divorce rate if this were true? In Bon Jovi's "Bed of Roses" he somehow gets it (I was utterly shocked) the refrain reads, "I want to lay you down in a bed of roses (Mary is often said to smell like roses as well as other heavenly saints that have roses attributed to them), for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails (watch what his arms do in the refrain when he says nails, he is imitating the FULL gift of self that Christ gave on the cross) then he even completes the marital act recognizing that the Holy Ghost is the result of the full gift of love between Christ and her church. Unbelievable. I have no idea if this is what he thought he was writing about, but he was raised at least loosely Catholic and has been married to the same women for almost 20 years.

You mean "woman". If he were married to the same women for 20 years, he'd have been raised loosely Morman.
