Interesting that while he was engaged, I do not think Bonhoeffer ever married, given how brief his time was on this planet. My thought is he would have seen this parallel as well and would have been an excellent husband, not given to potentially destructive infatuation. The biography Eric Metaxas wrote is excellent.
Yes, he died engaged, and wrote some passionate poems and letters during that time, but was never married. Like you, I'd be astonished if he wouldn't have eventually seen this parallel with marriage. It's so sad that his life was cut so short.
This is excellent food for thought!
Very informative, insightful and needed. 👍🏼
Wow. Just wow.
