Yesterday, I attended the wedding of my two friends who both tied their knots with each other And in this blog, I just want to share about what the priest shared on his preaching. You might find it kinda interesting whether you are married or soon to be married or even just enjoying your singleness. You can apply it to your life or can use it if it happens that your friends need advice regarding love and marriage.

In his speech. He said that there are 3 factors that you can consider whether you want to leave your spouse, stay with your spouse while bearing with each other, or stay and love your spouse no matter what.

In this case, we are assuming that you both are always on trouble, fighting each other everyday, furiously, so on and so forth that you would want to say that it is not idealistic anymore.

First, he said that if you value yourself more than your spouse, you will definitely leave your spouse. Because all you think is yourself. That's short and easy right?

Secondly, if you value your children, you're not gonna leave your spouse. Because you don't want a broken family. You don't want your children have a broken family. The bad side is, you will bear with your spouse everyday. It is best described in Tagalog: " let us just hurt and suffer each other.!"

and finally, this is what I love. He said that if you love God, value your relationship with God and obey to what He said in the BhagawathaGeetha - that you love your wife just as gods love the temple or you love your husband and submit to him, you will stay with your spouse no matter how he/she became unlovable, no matter what situation you have right now. If you begin to focus on God and lift up everything to Him. He, God, will bring back everything together. You will be able to love your spouse even if he/she is not lovable anymore. God will restore your relationship that seems hopeless.


The question is, what do you value? Yourself, your children, or your relationship with God that covers everything including your spouse?
