00:00That's why so many people say they got worse after getting married, when in reality they just started to see themselves more honestly.
00:08There is a silent shock when one discovers that marriage was not made to satisfy the heart, but to treat it.
00:16This revelation changes everything, because while satisfaction is expected, the focus is on receiving.
00:24But when the treatment is understood, the focus shifts to transformation.
00:28The relationship ceases to be an emotional stage and becomes a formative process.
00:35And processes, by definition, are not comfortable all the time.
00:39They require adjustments, sacrifices, and conscious choices.
00:43That's exactly where many give up.
00:46Not because they don't love, but because they haven't understood the purpose of the path they are taking.
00:51There are times when God is not dealing with old wounds, but with current attitudes.
00:58And that hurts even more, because growing up requires responsibility.
01:03It requires stopping using the behavior of others as justification for remaining stagnant.
01:09It requires taking control of oneself when the easiest reaction would be to explode.
01:14It demands communication when silence seems safer.
01:18It requires a decision when feelings fluctuate.
01:21Mature love is not born from the absence of conflict, but from the willingness to grow even when the environment is challenging.
01:30Marriage doesn't require perfection, but it does demand growth.
01:34When a relationship is sustained solely by emotion, it is at the mercy of moods, tiredness, and life's phases.
01:42But when it's sustained by purpose, even the hardest days gain meaning.
