Good advice for couples married or not. Those who we are closest to are uniquely qualified to hurt/aggravate us. Sometimes we stupidly say/do something that we would not even consider doing to a total stranger. Why can’t we give our loved ones the same chance? Assuming good intent is a great start, there will still be issues (unless of course, you are both saints), but we should always strive towards that unconditional love that Jesus has shown to us.
I am married and I was raised in the catholic faith. In the other hand my husband was raised in a non religious family. When we got together by civil union I remarked that I wanted to also get married my church and have God's blessing and to be God the center of our marriage, he decided to get baptized, comunión and confirmation. Now we are getting married by church this July 2022, I am so excited for that and can't wait. But we have also had so many challenges in our relationship that we have also decided to look for marriage counseling, I just wished it would be more easy to find more couples like you in the catholic church. Now a days everyone lives according the world, and not the faith of the Lord. That I believe it's the challenge that my husband and I have, the fact that I want to live in the grace of God and follow the catholic doctrine.
Wow, this is a powerful video! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm not married (yet), I'm just discerning the vocation of marriage. Mr. & Mrs. Sri, you bring up some really great points about when there's conflict or "pet peeves", that's where we encounter the Lord. It gives a different perspective on my parents' marriage. I have a little story, my dad keeps this pile of paper on our kitchen counter. It is filled with his work and hockey team schedules, plus a few other things from his workplace. We, especially my mom, are so fed up with that pile that every time we try to take it away or put it somewhere else, he gets mad. Now that I watched this, maybe I have come to the realization of the reason he keeps that pile on the kitchen counter. It's a mini "Tabernacle" in our home. Wow! Thank you so much Sri Family for this insight! Please pray for me as I try to find someone who I can share these quirks with one day. 🤣
Wow! This is really powerful. I love the part wherein the wife didn't go to attack mode immediately after her husband said something she didn't like but instead gave him the chance to take it back and say sorry but saying, "You didn't really mean that. Do you?" I will use this technique next time. Thank you. I appreciate this series. ❤
Thank you for these OUTSTANDING ❣️Marriage Tips! I keep finding myself playing this message over & over....it really seemed to be an answer to a question I asked Jesus, "Why does it always seem that I run into problems from my spouse or loved ones? Why not have them be our greatest cheerleader 🤣 & give me no problems?! Well, Now I know Why! Thank You!! & God Bless You, for spreading the Kingdom of God!!♥️
I’m having such a difficult time 20 years married my husband is on the computer looking at news all the time maybe three hours a day we live off grid in the woods I have no one to talk to.
Improve in holiness constantly. Holiness means temporal matters too. You can't be holier and live an unhealthy life and not responsible in work and giving your family time. Imagine your spouse improving constantly and you stagnant or even getting worse. Unfair. Then reaching old age you become scrooge like and your spouse a pleasing living saint. Unfair. Life's not fair and so don't add up to that. Sadistic though maybe unintentionally. Not ok. Stay neutral? No such thing. It's still Unfair as your spouse gets better and better and better. But at the end of the day, a valid marriage is binding for better or worse... till death do us part.
I finished your book and I really liked it. I think my favorite part was “I'm sorry...I forgive you.” This applies beyond marriage to everyday human interaction. Great book, thanks a lot😊God bless
In my opinion marriage is overrated . You can still have great faith w/o being married. It also feels like these ppl have not been thru much adversity as the average couple .
You don't know what they've been through, but they are clearly very happy together. And marriage is not just about your own faith - we raise children lovingly and share our faith with them. It's objectively silly to scorn marriage. Love is not just a fluttery feeling, it is a commitment that both people put effort into.
Idk marriage ain’t worth it given the divorce rate. And the argument that devout Catholics don’t get divorced as much…good luck finding a devout catholic who isn’t already dating or married if you’re still single beyond 30
Those who are married believed in themselves enough for it to happen. God believes in you. I pray that you will believe in yourself, believe in marriage, and find the spouse He so deeply desires for you to someday find.
@@SenorCinema ok...so you believe the "divorce statistics" and not look further into the why's?? Just cuz ppl get divorced, doesn't in no way mean you are going to be apart of that statistic. Ppl are unique individuals and the reasons they got together, who they are as individuals, and the why's they divorced have nothing to do with you as a person. Just cuz someone divorced, doesn't mean that's a trend. The deeper meaning would be to look at the why's they decided to get married. You wanna know the reason for the ending, you only havta look at the beginning. 🤍✌️
It isn't nagging if he should have done it in the first place. Socks? Really? Sorry. I might have to have a sock bonfire. There is no positive intent in ignoring one's spouse's irritations.
Submissiveness is being a push over. But you can also listen and find a middle ground on things and try to understand. That’s not submissiveness. That’s healthy and loving.

& I learned that...how we show our Love daily for our our Spouse❣️is to be like a Mirror of showing them How Much Jesus Loves them!

At the start: YES! Good advice. But everyone with an abusive partner; this is not your advice. Get yourself safe! ♥️
Obviously😐

Can't tell how much I needed this. God bless you
Just read “Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love” and absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to read “Love and Responsibility”
Thank you Beth & Edward! So grateful for all the insight and experience you share.
I love this new format , really down to earth and relatable
All this will work only if there's real love in the marriage. Not if only one is doing the loving and the other is doing their own thing.
Great Videos from you, family Sri!
I'll take apl the marriage and engagement advice and advice on how to better myself during singleness
This has worked really well for us: take separate vacations, and don't load the dishwasher together.
I’m having such a difficult time 20 years married my husband is on the computer looking at news all the time maybe three hours a day we live off grid in the woods I have no one to talk to.
wow... love the content. Thank you.
Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book ..socks here, socks there, socks everywhere!! 🤣
Thank you ❤

Stay neutral? No such thing. It's still Unfair as your spouse gets better and better and better.

I really liked this.
I just got your new book in the mail, looking forward to reading it☺

I wish marriage issues were as simple as misplaced socks
Amen
That thumb nail should be given to every new Catholic bride!

@@knitchute6212 I don’t know , you are right. It’s just my opinion, no offense toward them. Everyone is different, I understand

Be the head of your wife, stop acting submissive, man. She wants you to stand up to her and get those T levels up.
They’re supposed to be subordinate to each other. No submissiveness from either side.
Submissiveness is being a push over. But you can also listen and find a middle ground on things and try to understand. That’s not submissiveness. That’s healthy and loving.
