Chaos vs. Order

In Shakespeare’s Othello, the line “Chaos is come again” reflects more than personal turmoil—it signals the collapse of the moral and social order. In Shakespeare’s time, rooted in biblical teaching, marriage was seen as a reflection of Christ and the Church, the very foundation of society. Adultery wasn’t just a private betrayal; it was an attack on the structure God ordained. That’s still true today. When we break the marriage covenant, we don’t just wound a spouse—we damage the order God intended. Our lives, especially our marriages, either uphold His order or invite chaos.
