Beautiful Mrs Phyllis, God bless you and your family

Honestly, I'm far from being married but these things help me prepare myself and everyone else around me that I get to share thoughts with. Now let me congratulate you both on being so loving of each other years down marriage. I pray that I also have the same looks you have for each other down the years too. May God bless all our families and that His guidance is heard!

[@robertstutesman7764]

when you are prepared you should hope those around you are looking and you don't join the mass groups of single in there 30-40 and no clue why.

You guys are awesome! Thank you for the confidence and conviction boost, especially since my last two serious courtships ended pretty poorly (the only two I've had since the Lord got me back 15 years ago) because I couldn't teach my partners, with the Lord's help, to weather and embrace the storms as they came instead of wanting to run and/or retreat. I've been saying for years that I really need to see my potential wife at her worst multiple times and for multiple different reasons, as well as her seeing that out of me, in order to know without question if we both have the character fruits and tools needed with the Lord and each other to love each other through everything (a choice with the Lord leading our hearts instead of our emotions leading us). It is truly refreshing and encouraging to see a Catholic couple who is doing that well! Thank you for your testimony and witness for the Lord in your marriage! God bless! In Christ, Andrew

A real marriage is a sacrificial gift that we give to Jesus to give to his father. Marriage can help you grow and understanding true forgiveness getting through all the hard times and still being forward I didn’t entire family. Marriage is not easy it’s a lot of work but it is worth it.

[@robertstutesman7764]

Don't leave, don't do things on purpose to hurt the other, don't cheat. Pretty straight forward, love/lust have very little to do with finding a stable spouse that you can live your life with. Grass is always greener.

[@r.m5883]

Ur right. Don’t chase feelings but keep the covenant.

[@thatlittlebloke1714]

Absolutely beautiful and very insightful. Thanks so much. God bless your ministry.

Mrs. Sri was so relatable when she spoke! Very down to earth and authentic. Kind of gave me Emily Wilson vibes! Beautiful video!

[@thanderhop1489]

I like the imagery of the two wines at the wedding at Cana, but I'm also reminded of this passage from Revelation 2: “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not, and found them to be false; 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember then from what you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. So yeah, don't just write off that "love you had at first" instinct. Either perspective can be helpful at the right time.

Paul tells us this 1 Corinthians 7:1. I don’t know if this means we are better off not to Mary but having someone to love your whole life is a wonderful thing. The marriage is like going to the gym and not knowing what to eat or how to go about exercise or what things to use to make your self have a healthier Body. It’s about learning Perseverance. In marriage you have to work out the hard things out. the difficult things must be forgiven for the fun things to get to the actual joy. So definitely don’t get married unless you’re willing to go through all the hard things that come with marriage. My wife and I have been married almost 25 years. 23 of those years have been with it disabled son that we have to take care of. It’s a great joy but it also changed the course of what we thought marriage would be. I take care of our son at night my wife takes care of our son in the daytime. He’s been quadriplegic since his birth he’s unable to take care of himself in anyway. We rarely get times together we usually have only a few minutes each day to communicate. There’s very little personal physical intimacy. We didn’t know that was going to be a part of our marriage I think many men could not handle this. It’s about putting complete total faith in God and learning self control in many situations. We do have beautiful moments now and then. We do have three children. Our family will somehow be a great gift for our Lord someday. For me I have to offer up all the difficulties to the Lords cross that somehow he can use this difficult things to help other people get to heaven. It is a sacrifice that you should be prepared for before you get married. marriage isn’t between a man and a woman is between God and perhaps several children. You have to be willing to sacrifice and That can be difficult some days! but I believe at the end of our lives the reward of this difficult sacrificial life of marriage will prove to be a beautiful eternal experience in some kind of way that I don’t fully understand at this time. So if you’re preparing to get married prepare for it to be a roller coaster ride beyond anything you’ve ever experienced. If you don’t think you can handle that do not get married become a nun or a priest. But watching your children grow and seeing them discover new things has joy on an emotional side impossible without being married and having children. Marriage is a beautiful thing if you’re willing to pick up your cross and carry it every day and focus on Jesus every moment otherwise we will stumble. Marriage is a great gift that will make your spirit strong if you’re willing to work pass the hard spots. To forgive each other daily and your children. Offering up your marriage to God every day. And God will make it beautiful. In Jesus I trust. 🙏✝️

I get it. After you have been married for one, We get used Two What my wife wants . There's been hard times, and there's been good times. I made a huge mistake. I left the church, and I came back to the Catholic Church ..all because I did not know what I believed. Even though I had all the classes .. I been back p weeks been to confession .going to mass 9 weeks taking Holy Communion.

My husband left last year I. Affair with old neighbor. I feel against everyone I know that God wants me to stand and try to save even though it looks very grim I would love your opinion on what you think God would say to do in these circumstances

[@Mike-bn7kr]

Love your enemy Duquesne things to them pay for them ask for them to be blessed. We’re here in this life to learn how to love as Jesus loves us with an unconditional love. Even if someone hurts us. I can’t tell you what to do with your marriage but if you want to live like Jesus you have to go above and beyond but do not but that destroy you. Because that’s not a good thing either. Sometimes we have to knock the dust off our feet all the poop that gets on shoes. And we have to move forward but do it with prayer and fasting and talk to a priest.

[@drewblack749]

There are lectures on the narcissist that are invaluable. Recognizing this aspect of character is crucial. Dr Ramani identifies behavior that explains actions we cannot wrap our heads around. The Sris approach is one of forgiveness. Important for sure. Associating behavior patterns that have little to do with you, may help free yourself of guilt. Good luck.

[@hopefull61256]

Yes realise that his behaviour was a reflection on him and his character rather than you or your worth.

Maybe the best key to marriages communication communication communication communication forgiveness forgiveness forgiveness and sacrifice for each other. Try to say I love you often and really mean it. And give your marriage to Jesus ask him to carry you and to guide you. Pray for wisdom often and for discernment. Try to say your rosary often. Pray for each other. Treat each other as you want to be treated. If you argue make up quickly and forgive. Get to reconciliation and to the holy Eucharist often. And repeat that often. Let Jesus lead you.

In Bible times just as Mary and Joseph they didn’t get together because they were in love. They got to grow in love. Love is something that can be nurtured and you’ll find yourself in greater love years later and in the beginning anyway.

Basically everyone needs therapy these days, before, during, and after marriage. If that's not you... talk to your therapist about denial 😁 We need a totally new approach to marriage prep. A total realism. And a seriously long and intense post-wedding follow-up focused not on pie-in-the-sky pieties but the real process of healing and rebuilding lives.

Too general. This video could be 20 seconds of “marriage is hard and let Jesus help you in it.” Not a bad message at all. Just a long video that didn’t bring much more value than that.

[@alexsomo2503]

I respect that they try to prepare or Acknowledge the challenge of marriage. However they are so dang negative about it and don't focus enough on the good or how to improve that! Glad I had better examples of marriage in my life then what these two are saying. At least they reference taking your problems to the Lord.

[@Mike-bn7kr]

Well marriage might be easy for you but it’s not for all people. I believe marriage is a sacrificial gift that we make to go and it’s not about total fun and enjoyment all the time. But yes I can be beautiful and I can be wonderful. But it is a lot of work and you have to trust and have a lot of faith and you have to focus big-time on Jesus.

[@sineadbradyfan2151]

I really don't think it's conducive (or very Christian, for that matter) to laugh at someone else's inexperience. We live in a society that makes it all too easy for men to abandon their responsibilities and seek fulfilment in non-marital relationships. And we have an issue of incredible arrogance among Catholic married couples who just assume that any Catholic unmarried couples who desire marriage are all naive, stupid, "googly-eyed" and don't know anything about how to love in a Godly way. I really hope that groom who was laughed at stuck around and actually got married.

I think having a failed attempt at marriage is one thing that can prepare you for marriage.

I’ve been married for 12 years and we’ve been together for 22 and the best advice I would give anybody is, Don’t! Don’t get married stay single and focus all your time on God, work, and helping others. You’ll have a happier more for filled life.

[@abrahamlincoln4202]

I’m a guy in my 20’s and I’ve been wondering if this is the best route. I’ve seen horror stories of marriage and my parents had a messy divorce themselves with a lot of hurt feelings. Life is hard enough as it is, and even this video is saying that marriage can be messy at times. Single life is appealing but I’m really attracted to women and I don’t want to be lonely, so idk how I would deal with that.

[@lisaclairemont4842]

I disagree. Prayer and work together. 30 years. We love God and Each other.

[@Nicole11522]

I didn’t meet my husband until I was 36. I would never recommend staying single. I lived my single years pretty dang well. I volunteered, went out with friends, spent lots of time with family. But nothing compares to being married and having that person to share my life with. If God is calling you to marriage then trust that He will help you and be there through it all.

[@Mirrormouth12]

Married 10 years to an atheist- I can’t imagine how fulfilling being married to your best friend who is also Catholic would be... but if my marriage is this beautiful and interesting now... Marriage is very rewarding and very hard. But it is worth it- just like suffering for Christ and suffering for kids. Makes life so fulfilling . Worth it!!! Just don’t be selfish.Don’t cheat. And always always work on communication and understanding the other point of view.

[@neenutomi316]

from "The Poem of the Man-God" by Maria Valtorta ( 1 - 16 Sophia) 247 - Jesus Speaks to Valeria of Matrimony, and Divorce Everything is finished between us! I will not follow him.” “No, you are still his wife. The duty of a good wife is to make her husband good. You are thinking: he has set a bad example. That is true. But that does not exempt you from setting virtuous examples. He went away. True. You must take his place with your daughter and the servants.” “He says that he wants to divorce me. And he will certainly do that.” “But Valeria, you will be loved by God, by your daughter and by your servants. And even if you were no longer a wife, but a divorced woman, remember (Jesus stands up) that a legal separation does not destroy the duty of a woman to be faithful to her marriage oath. Divorce is legal prostitution as it puts man and woman in a position to commit lustful sins. To speak of marriage in the case of a new union of a divorced person (man or woman), is to profane the meaning and essence of marriage. Only the death of one of the consorts can justify a second marriage. However, I think that it would be better to yield to the just verdict of Him, who controls the destinies of men and to remain chaste when death has put an end to the matrimonial state, devoting oneself to the children and loving the dead consort in the children. A holy, true love, deprived of all materialism. Poor children! No. There will be no divorce in my religion. And he, who divorces by civil law to contract a new marriage will be an adulterer and a sinner. Human law shall not change my decree.
