    “Marriage isn’t about self fulfillment, marriage is about self donation” wow that hit me hard.

  • Pretty spot on. I've been with my girlfriend for nearly 4 years now (We're both 20). Perhaps we started dating too young, but because of that, she's the only girl I've ever dated. We're a great match. We bicker and argue, but we handle those rare moments so well. And we share all of the same values. My step-dad asked me the other day how I could possibly know if she was the right girl if I've never been with anybody else. But how many girls do I need to date to figure that out? Two... five... forty seven...? Yeah, she's not perfect and neither am I, but it works well and there's no reason to quit

    5:13 "In the world of perfect, good isn't good enough" That's the key to everything that's happening.

    I had a friend who had a great devotion to St. Anthony, she did a novena asking to meet the man she would marry. The novena ended, and no future husband. So she threw the St. Anthony statue out the window,,It hit the postman, and married him a year later 😆😆😆

    I do agree that no person here on earth can fully satisfy our hearts because only Jesus can complete us. But I do feel that God made someone special for us (if marriage is our calling). I feel that He knows who "the one" is for us and we don't have to worry about searching for that person because God will place that person in our lives.

    Thank you Father for talking on this topic. The last line 'Jesus Is the One' is punching ...

    6:30... “Jesus is your “The One” and His heart beats for you.... 😭🙏
  • Hi father Mike. I'm not catholic but a really close friend of mine that recently passed was. We bonded over your videos. Watching you brings me peace from your message as well as remembering her.

    I found my Soul Mate and am married to him for fourteen years! How did I know he's my soulmate? Because we met by chance through my poetry club online. We became penpals and began to send each other gifts. The strange bit is that he lived in England at the time and I lived in NJ. It's strange because I sensed something wonderful will come out of this friendship. It was as if God whispered to me that this would lead to something wonderful. And it did. He came to meet my parents and me during Christmas 2002. My parents loved him. We shared the same values and taste in music. The following year he proposed to me and two more years after that we got married. We got married in the Catholic Church with God's blessings and our parents' blessing. I'm a Catholic born and raised. He' from the Anglican Church. Next year we will have been married for fourteen years. He truly is my best friend. We've gone through so much together; death of family members and hard times and we're still together. He has helped me grow so much as a person and he has his own independent hobbies, too. He doesn't define me as a person. I know I am responsible for my own happiness. But I'm so glad God put us together in each other's path.

    All these people talking about "the one", and I'm over here PRAYING to just meet a good Catholic Girl who is single, of child bearing age, and who I'm actually attracted to. At this point, it's an act of Faith that I'm still holding on.
  • @m.935
    Children deserve to be born into a family where both parents love and respect each other. If only one side is "self donating", that affects the whole family, and children suffer.
  • @benrogers2901
    I'm not even religious, but this guy is talking a lot of sense to me!
  • @Winston-op5de
    All I can say is HEAVY! Wow, what a talk! Thank you father Mike, you are a gift from God to us. Amen.
  • I like one thing I read a long time ago: "We fall in love with a persons imperfections" and I believe that so much. I'm not married, but last time I fell in love I constantly focused on the imperfections of the woman I fell in love with. Her crooked smile, how she was pigeon toed and had a kind of hunch back and how she would sometimes mock my accent. It sounds insane but wow, just thinking of that now gets me teary eyed. It's soul, it really is. Those imperfections are not imperfections but paths to seeing soul. Unique attributes, a comedic path that somehow show infinite beauty.

    You have been such a beacon in so much darkness for me. I’m a 46 year old Catholic, who is just now recognizing Jesus as my Savior. I listen to this channel almost everyday and I’m never let down. Thank you for your messages and I’m excited to go through the Bible with you on your podcast. Thank you Father Mike.
