Dear family and friends, the experience I had during 62 years of marriage until my husband left for eternity is very great and valuable. I thank God for granting me a stable marriage with a wonderful man. From this beautiful relationship, God granted us a bouquet of 11 children with a whole line of descendants.
I really have a lot of good advice to give all of you so that you can have and sustain stable and blessed marriages. Let me hardly summarize these tips in just 3:
1- GOD must always be reigning among couples and they must allow the Holy Spirit to always guide them. This is because we are foolish and weak who, through our own efforts, would not achieve anything.
2- Couples must have joined only for TRUE LOVE; since there are many marriages made for personal or family convenience, for money, for physical appearance, for social position or just sexual attraction. Any man or woman who marries for purposes other than the true love they feel towards each other is certain to fail. I say man or woman because in these times same-sex marriage is happening; obviously this is outside of God's design. I am talking about couples, man and woman, united by true love that meet these requirements, will hardly fail. This is because true love comes from God and GOD IS LOVE. True love is a love so sublime that it can do everything, understands everything, endures it, waits for it, and forgives it. Fake love and sensual love is not true love. True love is sacred feeling that if you love your partner with sincere and true love it will not cost you much sacrifice to fight to make them feel comfortable and happy.
3- In this kind of love there is HUMILITY that is so important among relationships. Although couples follow the above advice and fight to ensure that there are no conflicts in their marriage, if at least one of the two is not humble, the marriage would be a failure. The opposite of humility is haughtiness, jealousy, pride, arrogance, selfishness, resentment and envy.
A humble person forgets about himself and is always worried that his partner is well, regardless of the sacrifice he has to make for her.
But everything does not have to be advice; So I tell you a beautiful little story, we could call it “Couples with Wisdom.” This one says like this:
In old age a humble wife asked: Why did we reach this stage of life together? And the old man answers: Because instead of shouting, we talk; Instead of running away, we look for solutions. Also because everything or nothing belonged to the two of us; because we cry and laugh together; because one day we promised each other and we kept it to be together in the good and the bad. But above all because our love grew over time in the form of the love of God (unconditional), which is the one that never ends. Remember, stable marriages are not impossible. Of course JESUS CHRIST must be the center of their lives and they must fight not with their own strength, but with divine help.
Couples have their ups and downs, but walking together hand in hand with JESUS, the journey becomes easier.
Taking into account the small everyday moments, a special and valuable marriage relationship is built.
Within Christian marriage couples is the powerful God who unites them and makes them so strong that they will always look at the goals and not the circumstances.
Get up! And look at the morning full of light, walk and fight in this life together so that you can enjoy the other life that is eternal and therefore the most important. But this is only possible with JESUS CHRIST. Receive it right now. Make the best decision of your life. Cheer up!
May God bless your homes always!
With love,
