Physical and Emotional Infidelity
PHYSICAL INFIDELITY happens when you sexually engage with another person; but there’s also EMOTIONAL INFIDELITY, which happens when you let your heart be led by feelings and fantasies about other people. You take from your partner what is exclusively theirs and give it to someone else. This is why Jesus warned us that just by […]
The partner who lies
NO RELATIONSHIP can withstand lies. Sometimes the liar does it out of fear. Fear is a great generator of lies. Any lie is a character flaw, but fear makes it even worse. Therefore, to stop lying, the partner must first confront their fears and overcome them. The problem is that many couples do not […]
9,572 mornings
TODAY I HEARD A SINGLE LADY say that her favorite movie is “50 First Dates” because Adam Sandler’s character spends the entire movie having to win back Drew Barrymore’s love every time she wakes up.

The controlling partner
IF YOU TRY to be your wife’s father or your husband’s mother in order to control their freedom, you will, as a result, have a partner who will behave like a rebellious teenager. This revolt may be passive or aggressive and prove to be quite wrong as well, but the first error came from […]
Why do we treat badly those who want our well-being?
Something so simple and yet so ignored in many relationships: kindness. The fact you live with someone does not give you the right to be rude, harsh, or/and reckless in the the way of speaking and dealing with that person. On the contrary, because the partner tolerates our flaws the most, we owe them kindness, […]
