What newlywed hasn’t noticed the contrast between single and married life? Luther once commented:

“Man has strange thoughts the first year of marriage. When sitting at table he thinks, ‘Before I was alone; now there are two.’ Or in bed, when he wakes up, he sees a pair of pigtails lying beside him which he hadn’t seen there before. On the other hand, wives bring to their husbands, no matter how busy they may be, a multitude of trivial matters. So my Katy used to sit next to me at first while I was studying hard and would spin and ask, “Doctor, is the grandmaster the margrave’s brother?” (The American Edition Of Luther’s Works, Vol. 54 p. 191, June 1532)

Katie had been confused. The grandmaster and the margrave were the same person.

The painting “Interior with Woman at Wheel” is by Esaias Boursse, from 1661.

THE HOLY GOSPEL FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTCOST, YEAR A
MATTHEW 9:9-13
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (ESV)
