Married Virgin

"Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth." 
Joel 1.8

Imagine a young virgin married for a long time. Why is she still a virgin? What happened to her husband? Did he travel? Is he distant?

This reflects on the lives of many Christians, for they have not yet had the experience of going on a honeymoon with the Holy Spirit. They're sad, empty, and are clothed in humiliation.
