GROWING WITH SOMEONE
This is for all:
the ones who recently married,
the ones who have been married,
the ones who soon to get married, and
the ones who are still looking.
Years ago, I asked God to give me a spouse,
"You don't own because you didn't ask" God said.
Not only I asked for a spouse but also explained what
kind of spouse I wanted.
I want a nice, tender, forgiving, passionate, honest,
peaceful, generous, understanding,
pleasant, warm, intelligent, humorous, attentive,
compassionate and truthful spouse.
I even mentioned the physical characteristics I
dream about.
As time went by I added the required list of my
wanted spouse.
One night, in my prayer,
God talked to my heart: "My servant, I cannot give
you what you want"
I asked, "Why God?"
God said "Because I am God and I am fair.
God is the truth and all I do are true and right"
I asked "God, I don't understand why I cannot have
what I ask from you?".
God answered, "I will explain. It is not fair and
right for Me to fulfill your demand, because I cannot
give something that is not your own self. It is not
fair to give someone who is full of love to you if
sometimes you are still hostile, or to give you
someone generous but sometimes you can be cruel, or
someone forgiving; however, you still hide revenge,
someone sensitive however, you are very
insensitive....".
God then said to me : "It is better for Me to give you
someone who I know could grow to have all qualities
you are searching rather than to make you waste your
time to find someone who already have the qualities
you want. Your spouse would be bone from your bone
and flesh from your flesh and you will see yourself
in her and both of you will be one.
Marriage is like a school. It is a life-long an
education. It is where you and your partner make
adjustment and aim not merely to please each other,but
to be better human beings and to make a solid
teamwork. I do not give you a perfect partner, because
you are not perfect either. I give you a partner with
whom you would grow with."
