Marriage

 Posted by Lissett e Martinez

Marriage is a choice but not like any other. One must not marry anyone that loves us. On the contrary; first find love and then you will be able to make the right choice.

Experiencing true love connects us to our souls. The choice of partner is not a decision based on the pros and cons of being in a relationship. It is not an emotional decision based on the comparison of how a person makes us feel, nor a decision based on physical appearance of a person.

It is much deeper. When our soul wants to marry our partner is like a promise that we wish to maintain. It is like supposing that we should be together and share our lives. When our soul wants to marry, it is as if we had no choice.

We have to do it to be honest with ourselves. It's different kind of commitment that can sustain a love for life. It gives us the strength to make sacrifices and overcome the inevitable challenges that come with marriage, honors us with experience of incomparable joy and fulfillment.

You can choose the right person only when your hearts are open, but it is also true that it is possible to know with certainty that a person is not adequate only when our hearts are open. In this way we end a relationship without guilt or resentment.

The ideal partner is not perfect and will not have all the qualities we have in mind. It will come with baggage. Just as you have good days and bad days. The love you spontaneously feel for that person is the foundation to learn to share a life with someone who in many respects is very different from you. That love motivates us to cooperate, respect, appreciate and admire that person.

In this process, which is not always easy or comfortable, you become a better person. The soul has a chance to grow. If your partner does not challenge you in any aspect of your life, a better you will not arise. The other person is ideal to bring out the best of ourselves and sometimes this happens while solving mutual problems. In a marriage, one must overcome all sorts of negative trends; to be too critical, selfish, patronizing, complacent, doubting, and impatient, among others. Being in a marriage offers us an opportunity to rise above these trends. In this process the soul as the butterfly has a chance to fly free
