¿Estás listo para construir un matrimonio que perdure? Muchos arrastran "vicios" de relaciones pasadas que terminan generando problemas, un reflejo de las crecientes estadísticas matrimoniales. La clave está en la maduración, el conocimiento profundo y la comunicación honesta para superar las dificultades.
Jesús nos invita a amarnos con un amor libre y verdadero, no uno forzado o limitado por nuestras imperfecciones. Este amor divino, si decidimos aceptarlo, tiene el poder de transformar nuestras relaciones, yendo más allá de la pasión inicial.
El ejemplo bíblico de Tobías y Sara nos muestra cómo la oración y la fe pueden ser el cimiento de un matrimonio, incluso ante la adversidad. Reflexiona: ¿qué impulsó tu relación? ¿Fue la pasión, el gusto, la sensación o el interés? La respuesta es fundamental para el futuro de tu vínculo.
La pasión en el matrimonio debe ser ordenada, enfocada en servir al otro, no en el beneficio propio. Después de años juntos, el esfuerzo diario por mantener el atractivo y el respeto mutuo es esencial, tanto física como emocionalmente.
Los amores ideales que vemos en redes sociales o series de televisión a menudo son fantasías. El amor real, el que construye un matrimonio sólido según el plan de Dios, requiere trabajo diario y debe trascender la mera ilusión romántica.
La Primera Carta a los Corintios, capítulo 13, versículos 4 al 7, nos ofrece una guía invaluable: el amor es paciente, servicial, no envidioso ni jactancioso. Meditar y guardar estas palabras en el corazón es vital para vivir un amor que todo lo excusa, todo lo cree, todo lo espera y todo lo soporta.

00:00Here we are again. Well, yes, as Janet was saying earlier, we're still carrying around a lot of bad habits.
00:23towards our marriage and that is a source, but a powerful one, to generate problems later.
00:30And that's why those statistics exist. Those statistics aren't random, and it's not something that happened in a month.
00:39In other words, this is something that has been happening over the years and unfortunately it is growing year after year.
00:45That's why knowledge, the maturation of their courtship, of their relationship, of getting to know each other deeply and knowing what they think, is so important.
00:55And communicating what I think, speaking the truth to each other, will allow them to overcome many difficulties that will come their way.
01:04Notice how this invitation from Jesus to love us as He has loved us, in that very close relationship,
01:14In such a beautiful relationship, she does so with complete freedom. In other words, she invites us to love with complete freedom as well.
01:24He himself does not, let's say, violate us, he does not force us.
01:29Jesus himself tells you, look, I stand at the door and knock.
01:34He says, "If you open the door for me, I will come in and have dinner with you."
01:38He also invites you here to love freely with the love He wants to plant in your heart, not with your own.
01:47Your love and mine are extremely limited.
01:51It's an imperfect love.
01:53No, He loves you, He tells you, if you want, you will be able to love her, you will be able to love Him as I love Him.
02:03Imagine.
02:04One thing that our capacity doesn't really allow us to understand the extent of.
02:10And it's all if you want it.
02:12So, in the Bible there are many examples of marriages, and there is a very particular one of a son of God named Tobias with Sarah.
02:24Poor Sara, seven of them had already died, right?
02:28Seven of her husbands had died, and they never made it through their wedding night.
02:33And then Tobias arrived, carried by an angel of the Lord, and said to him, "With that you will get married."
02:40I said to him, "Are you sure, buddy?"
02:44But anyway, there goes Tobias, and Tobias, before uniting with his wife, says to her, look, we're not going to unite like we paid them.
02:55We go like those who do not know God, but go and pray before joining.
03:00And they offer their marriage to the Lord.
03:03There, his mother didn't trust him and had a grave made for him just in case poor Tobias was found dead the next morning.
03:06But thank God, Tobias woke up alive and well.
03:12I ask you, what was it that moved or is moving your relationship?
03:17Because the answer to that question can define many of the things that will happen for better or for worse in your relationship.
03:25What was passion? Was it taste? Was it sensation? Was it interest?
03:32What moved you, or what moves you?
03:35I'm not saying that passion won't exist, because of course if there were no passion, there would be no humanity.
03:41But it is a passion ordered within marriage.
03:45Not for my own benefit, but to serve my wife.
03:51How different? How differently will you experience it that way?
03:56Just now that you mentioned passion.
04:00Well, for example, I was telling them, we're about to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary.
04:05So, we've been dating for 32 years, so we're 32 years older than when we started, right?
04:19So, of course, you also have to make an effort to keep him liking you, right?
04:26I mean, I have to make an effort every day, I exercise, just look at that.
04:31And humble, but you have to make an effort every day to keep him liking it.
04:39Because it's not about, well, we're married now and it's God's plan, so now I'm going to get really lazy and act all bad.
04:46No, not that either.
04:48I like that he still sees me as handsome, and that he sees me as beautiful, right?
04:52But if you are thinking about getting married according to God's wonderful plan of love for you and for that person God has chosen to share the rest of your life with,
05:11Then you have to have as your foundation this love of God that René was telling you about.
05:18This love, sister, brother, cannot remain in romantic love, in the love of illusion, of dreams, of, I don't know, you have to bring it down to earth.
05:37It doesn't mean you'll stop being romantic, that you'll stop dreaming, no.
05:44But it can't stay like this.
05:46You need to move on to another time.
05:50Right now we're very prone to, as I was saying, showing off our dating relationship on social media, right?
06:03Selfies, Insta, on TikTok, right?
06:08Or watch those unreal fantasy romances in Netflix series, Prime series, Hola magazines, whatever you want.
06:24Those kinds of love don't exist.
06:29They get paid to act like they love each other.
06:32In other words, they don't exist.
06:35This is the reality.
06:37And this...
06:39You have to work.
06:43And you have to work every day.
06:46Now let's get to the reading I was telling you about...
06:49Write it down.
06:50From the first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13.
06:55Verses 4...
06:57Verses...
06:58To 7.
06:594 to 7.
07:00Look, brothers.
07:00It says, love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious, it is not boastful, it is not proud, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
07:24He does not rejoice in injustice, he does not rejoice in injustice, he rejoices in the truth.
07:31He excuses everything, he reads everything, he hopes for everything, he endures everything.
07:39Look, I mean, you have to read it and review it.
07:47And review it.
07:49Many times.
07:50Many times.
07:51And not only that, meditate on it and, like the Virgin Mary, keep those words in your heart for your whole life.
08:00Sister, sister, brother, we live in a time when we make mistakes and misunderstand equality.
08:11You are the same as me, man is the same as woman, so we do the same thing.
08:18Either you take on the role of working from home, because you don't have a job right now, and I'm the one who works in a company and earns a great salary.
08:28But it's not about you playing one role and me playing another.
08:33It's about the two of us becoming one.
08:36Listen, right now, for example, we don't have a girl to help us at home.
08:40I do the laundry, René irons, my children vacuum, I mop, René washes dishes, they help me with the food.
08:55Yes, I don't know if I'm making myself clear.
08:58We have to share everything.
09:00But all of this starts with the courtship.
09:02If we don't understand what Saint Paul told the Corinthians from the very beginning of our courtship,
09:08sister, brother, things aren't going to go well for you.
09:13I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's really not going to go well for you.
09:17You have to ask yourself questions and be very honest when you reflect.
09:24Am I willing to live this love that Saint Paul speaks of to the Corinthians?
09:29Am I always willing to forgive?
09:34Hey, the truth is that when you read it, well, you might just say,
09:40Oh boy, that's a high bar to clear!
09:45But if you do this with God's help,
09:49Today it may seem impossible for you to do it.
09:53Today it's impossible.
09:55With God's help, everything is possible.
09:57Because that's what the word of God says.
09:59Everything is possible for those who believe.
10:02I am patient, I am impatient, totally and absolutely.
10:07Over time, trusting in the Lord and striving,
10:12Because I'm not saying it's not hard for me,
10:14Well, we need to take that patience to another level.
10:18To the point that my children recently said I was lying.
10:21because I said I'm impatient.
10:23And I said, oh my god, damn it!
10:25I said, blessed be God.
10:27Blessed be God because I am raptured, right?
10:30Because my buffer boils over really fast.
10:32But how do we start practicing that?
10:37Yanet says.
10:38From now on, the word says, he is not irritated.
10:42He who loves is not easily angered.
10:45He who loves does not boast.
10:49It is dignified; it does not seek its own interest.
10:52And the last words are really tough, right?
10:55Those last four, right?
10:57It excuses everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything.
11:05Hey, for you and me, impossible.
11:10So, are you ready to endure everything?
11:13Oh, you rascal.
11:17Well, just because the Lord invited me, right?
11:19Just because I know I'm not going alone.
11:22Just because I know that the Lord is in our midst and will not let us go.
11:26And that the Lord is in you, bridegroom, and is in you, bride.
11:33Since they both have that intention and that disposition,
11:39That's the big difference.
11:41The Lord is in him.
11:43By loving him, I am loving God.
11:48And when I let myself be loved by him,
11:52Well, I am also letting myself be loved by God, letting myself be pampered by God.
11:56We have to go for it, we have to go for it, we have to make ourselves less like ourselves in order to make my girlfriend happy.
12:08Well, to my girlfriend, to my girlfriend, to my wife, because we always say...
12:11We always say that we're celebrating our anniversary as boyfriend and girlfriend.
12:14I still don't remember the day, no, I do remember.
12:17I already learned it because they put it in my cell phone password one day and that's how I learned it.
12:22What I had to do.
12:23But hey, those are really high-level things, aren't they?
12:28We don't talk, we don't even talk about saying, hey, when there is physical violence involved.
12:34Well, be careful, right?
12:37Be careful, because that thing doesn't go away.
12:39It usually gets worse.
12:41Everyone is stepping aside in the name of God, right?
12:43The Lord can fix everything.
12:46But if that's it, if that's the manifestation of love, then think about it very carefully.
12:51Investigate further.
12:52If that were the case, investigate further.
12:56Clear.
12:57There should be, it's a special situation, right?
13:01There would also have to be a special situation, therapy, etc.
13:07But the important thing is that you make the decision to start, if you haven't already.
13:16to begin this process of getting to know each other better and to make the decision to live this incredible adventure of love
13:30which is God's perfect plan for you and for whom you want to live your whole life with.
13:37Even if they call you henpecked, it doesn't matter.
13:40You're happy, aren't you?
13:43Because suddenly they tell me,
13:44Look, we were, when we were preparing the topic,
13:51In the end, we agreed that we wanted to share a personal experience of my family with you.
13:59which is our family, because we are already one flesh,
14:03from my parents.
14:04A phrase from my dad that is based on a phrase from my dad, I added a few words to it,
14:09that with my mother managed to reach 60 years of happy marriage.
14:15To be honest, I never saw division in a marriage.
14:21I never saw selfishness,
14:24I never saw violence,
14:26I never saw a lie.
14:28A truly extraordinary thing, a gift from God.
14:33And my dad, who insists on this phrase a lot,
14:39It says that love is the desire accompanied by actions to make the loved one happy.
14:48In other words, love is not a feeling.
14:52Love is a decision you make to make the person you are with happy.
14:57And not just desire, right?
14:59Because that's what my dad gave him.
15:00The desire, well, I could say many things,
15:03But we'll have to make another one by force, right?
15:05It is desire translated into concrete actions
15:08to make the person you love happy.
15:12Taken from what?
15:13With the help and strength of God, who helps me to do what I am not.
15:17It helps me go beyond my capabilities,
15:21to go beyond my strength.
15:23So, if I take that word of God,
15:26I no longer fight to be happy.
15:29I strive to make her happy.
15:31And then things change.
15:33And it gets more complicated.
15:36But it's a decision that, as Yaneta said a while ago,
15:39You take it and no one else but you can take it.
15:44So, after everything we've told you,
15:48Pray and ask the Lord to reveal to you if this bride,
15:55if this boyfriend is the person He has set aside for you.
15:59Because if it's Him, they're going to break that 64% statistic.
16:03And they will arrive just as many, and even more, than us.
16:07as well as my parents, 60 years of marriage, happy.
16:10If possible.
16:13They have perhaps seen so many stories of failed marriages
16:17who have not been willing.
16:19Because that's all God asks of you.
16:20that you are willing.
16:21He'll do everything else.
16:23What you have to say,
16:25Yes, sir, I am willing.
16:26I don't know how you're going to do it.
16:27Because it's a mess.
16:29Because I am this, this, and that.
16:32The Lord will allow you to say,
16:34was.
16:36Because?
16:36I know why I want to make my wife and husband happy.
16:41The question is,
16:42Are you ready?
16:43Are you willing to try?
16:46It depends on you.
16:47Well, brother, sister,
16:51We have now reached the end of...
16:53It ended very quickly.
16:55...of this time,
16:56of these three short videos.
16:59We want to invite you to close your eyes
17:03to ask our Lord together
17:07for you, for your relationship,
17:10for your future marriage.
17:12That is God's plan.
