I am trying to find the specific writing / location of the following quote from St. John Chrysostom:
Do any of you know in which writing this quote can be found? It is from “On Living Simply,” which is a compilation of quotes from St. John Chrysostom, but the book doesn’t cite the source for the quotes.
But if a man and a woman marry in order to be companions on the journey from earth to heaven, then their union will bring great joy to themselves and to others…. In the providence of God, when a husband is spiritually weak, his wife is spiritually strong; and when a wife is weak, her husband is strong.
