Friar Laurence thinks the violence would end between their two families if he marries them. In (Act 2, Scene 6) Friar Laurence states “So smile in the heavens upon this holy act… these violent delights have violent ends and their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume.

Friar Lawrence expresses his doubts about this marriage only a few scenes later by saying, “so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not (II, vi, 1-2).” Friar Lawrence hopes the heavens will approve of his decision to organise this marriage, as he does not want to regret it later.
