1 Corinthians 7:3-5

…A wife belongs to her husband instead of to herself and a husband belongs to his wife instead of to himself. So don’t refuse sex to each other, unless you agree not to have sex for a little while, in order to spend time in prayer.

Kung may asawa ka, ang katawan mo ay pag-aari rin ng asawa mo. At yung katawan nya ay pag-aari mo rin. Kaya dapat walang nakiki-ambush, nakikisingit-singit, nakikihiram-hiram d’yan. Kung hindi kayo magtatalik, kailangan may agreement kayo. “O sige, one week lang ha para makapag-pray tayo.” At pagkatapos wakasan nyo agad yung prayer at fasting time, and go back to each other so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you. Satisfying one’s partner is a spiritual duty and a physical privilege. Kahit ayaw mo at tinatamad ka, pagod ka, kailangan mayroon kang sense of duty to your partner. So huwag mong sobrang pagurin ang sarili mo. Magreserba ka ng energy para sa iyong asawa.

Have, protect, and beautify your private time and space as a couple. How can you be passionate kung yung mga anak ninyo kasama ninyong natutulog sa inyong higaan? ‘Tapos para kayong mga kriminal pag alas tres ng madaling araw at iniingatang huwag kumakaluskos dahil baka magising ang mga bata. That’s not the way to enjoy your married life. Mga babae, hindi komo naging nanay kayo, you stop being a wife.

Pag ikaw ay nag-asawa, mayroon ka nang commitment sa partner mo from the time na ikaw ay ikinasal. Nakahiwalay ka sa magulang, dapat nakahiwalay din sa anak. Ang number one mong priority, kasunod sa Dios, ay ang asawa mo.

BE FAITHFUL

Proverbs 5:15
You should be faithful to your wife, just as you take water from your own well.

Kung mayroong problema between husband and wife, hindi solusyon yung maghanap ng panibagong ka-partner. Kung hindi ka masaya, gumawa ka ng saya. Kung hindi maganda ang samahan nyo, pagandahin mo. Pero yung kukuha ka na naman ng panibago, hindi yun solusyon. Napaka-unfair para sa mga misis na malalaman na lang nilang high school na pala yung anak ng asawa nila sa ibang babae. Saka nila mare-recall ngayon yung mga panahong wala kayo sa tabi nila. Yung Holy Week na wala ka at sinabi mong may trabaho ka. Yung Pasko na bigla kang nawala. Parang multo ngayon yan na napakahirap dalhin. Kasi laging maiisip ng misis yung panahong siya ay dinaya at patuloy pang dinadaya. “Sa iyo naman ako umuuwi e. Sa iyo naman napupunta ang sweldo ko.” Kahit pa. “Sa iyo naman ako umuuwi pag Noche Buena at Media Noche.” Oo nga. Pero kahit isang araw lang sa loob ng isang taon na pinagtataksilan nyo ang asawa nyo, ang ibig sabihin nun mas pinahalagahan nyo yung kapartner nyo sa pagtataksil.

At minsan, yung feeling of betrayal cannot be understood by the men. Kahit sandali ka lang na nawawala, biruin mo dinadaya mo ang asawa mo para dun sa isa. Paano pa kung nagkaroon ng bunga ang pagtataksil?

Salamat na lang at our Lord is a God of second chances. Kung saan tayo nalubog, lumulusong siya para tayo iahon. Tinutulungan tayong magampanan maging ang pananagutan natin sa mga pagkakamali. Kaya nga, mahalaga sa mga mag-asawa na laging maging tapat sa kanilang mga sinumpaan.

Song of Songs 7:6, 10

You are beautiful, so very desirable! My darling, I am yours, and you desire me.

Marriage may be likened to a beautiful flower that wilts with the passing of time or to fine table wine that gets better with age. Ano kaya ang inyong pagiging mag-asawa, parang bulaklak na nalalanta habang tumatagal, o parang table wine na lalong sumasarap habang dumadaan ang panahon? After the usual period of discovery and excitement during the initial stages of marriage, many couples become too familiar with each other and start to become neglectful. Nagpapabaya na sa isa’t-isa sapagkat magkakilala na. Nagiging pabaya sa kanilang relasyon because they are confident that the spouse will always be there no matter what. Husbands and wives start to take each other for granted. Kung nangyayari yan sa inyong buhay, hindi dapat.

Kapag nagsimula na tayong magsabi na hindi naman yan mawawala kahit na ano ang mangyari, handa na rin tayong mawala iyon sapagkat unti-unting nasisira ang apoy, ganda, at init ng pagsasamahan. At sa katagalan, some couples begin to live separate lives apart from each other though they reside in the same house. And due to lack of nurture and care, many marriages simply fall apart or more commonly slide into that awkward stage where it is neither dead nor alive, neither hated nor loved.

Love and loving must be nourished, cared for, protected, guarded, and prioritized if marriage is to change from glory to glory. Hindi dapat nawawalan ng excitement ang marriage. Both husband and wife must really work hard to keep the love alive.

BE ROMANTIC NAMAN

Matthew 19:6b
…And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together.

Ang pinag-isa na ng Dios sa matrimonyo huwag nang paghihiwalayin pa ng tao. So kung hindi kayo yung couple, minister to couples. Minister to families. Mahal ninyo ang apo ninyo, gumawa kayo ng paraan na magkasundo yung anak ninyo at manugang ninyo. Laging maganda ang samahan dahil ang makikinabang o malulugi ang mga apo ninyo. A happy couple translates into a happy family.

At kung kayo naman matagal nang may asawa, sasabihin mo, “Para na lang kaming magkapatid.” Aba, gumawa kayo ng paraan kasi hindi kayo magkapatid. Huwag kayong malito. Mag-asawa kayo. So kailangan ibalik yung passion ng inyong relasyon. Don’t hesitate to be romantically loving. Do not be ashamed. Do not apologize for your passion so long as it is honorable in the eyes of God.

Matrimony is a gift. To love and be loved is a gift from God. Biruin ninyo, araw-araw mayroon kayong ka-date samantalang yung iba nagrereklamo, “Mabuti pa yung kalendaryo may date, ako wala.” ‘Tapos ikaw na may asawa ay nagrereklamo na may asawa ka. It’s a good thing to be married, to have someone you love and who loves you. But remember, pag hindi ka na nag-eenjoy, hindi ka natutuwa, may problema kayo. Ayusin ninyo. Ang paghihiwalay hindi dapat solusyon. When there are rats in the ship, you kill the rats, you don’t sink the ship. Lutasin yung problema, huwag palakihin. And have a good married life.

LOVE PA RIN

Proverbs 15:17 (NIV)

Better a small serving of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.

Sa panahon ngayon, kapag puro salad at gulay ang kinakain, healthful living. Noong araw kasi, pag sinabing vegetable meal, pangmahirap lang yun, pangmaralita. Ang hindi natin alam, kaya pala malalakas ang katawan ng mga maralita kasi tama pala ang kinakain nila. Sabi nga sa Proverbs, mabuti pa yung gulay sa hapag ng mga mahihirap na may pagmamahalan, kaysa sa masarap na pagkain sa hapag ng mga nakakariwasang tao na nagbabangayan naman.

Mahalaga yung love. Not only parental love for the children, but also parental love for each other. There is nothing more that can unsettle children’s sense of security than hearing or knowing that their parents are quarreling. Kaya yung pagmamahal ng mga mag-asawa ay napakahalaga to create a very deep sense of security and belongingness in the emotion of a child.

Love must be verbalized. Sinasabi. Ipinadadama. Hindi tayo nawawalan ng dignity when we express our love. We should learn and re-learn to articulate it. Be present for your children. Hindi puede yung “Mahal na mahal kita, anak, pero hindi ako makakapunta doon sa affair ng mga parents. Bahala ka na sa teacher mo.” Dapat gawan ng paraan to operationalize that love and make it tangible. Itirintas ang buhok ng anak, gawan ng sandwich, smile at them, pat them on the back when they need encouragement. And love must be open to reciprocation. Allow the child to love you back. Love is shared. It goes in a circle that when you give love, you are willing to receive love as well.
