of goodness, compassion and truthfulness in each other and to their children.

see the good and great possibilities in others that cannot be seen b
y anybody else other than by person who loves you. Rediscover that beauty and splendor love in each other.”
Reflecting in the current hardships in relationships and Marriages, he urged all to seek help from God in dealing with difficult people by seeing from their point of view. This way Love will mature with time
