Choosing a spouse begins with trusting God; the spiritual comes before the physical. As Christians, we need to put all decisions about our lives in God's hands, especially the choice of a spouse who is right for us for life. Catechesis for young people preparing for marriage, with Fr Thierry Germain Randriamiarantsoa.

 

Genesis shows us the human nature of infinite trust in God. Loving Abraham was the first to be faithful. He was convinced that God had a suitable wife for his son. Those who want to have a wife or husband are not only carnal, they must be faithful to God. Catechesis for young people preparing for marriage, with Fr Thierry Germain Randriamiarantsoa.

Choosing a spouse? Young people are confused, there are so many people to choose from. A well-known example is found in Genesis 24: it all began with Abraham, Isaac's father, who was looking for a wife for his son. Is it necessary to carry out this proposal in Genesis 24, that is, for the father to choose who will be his son's wife? Catechesis for young people preparing for marriage, with Fr Thierry Germain Randriamiarantsoa.

"Love is "the best way" (1 Corinthians 12:31) that leads to perfection and holiness. "Love is patient and abounds in kindness" (1 Corinthians 13:4). Humanity will not fall or be destroyed by patience and kindness. The more our love grows, the more we learn to give ourselves and to devote ourselves to others. Catechesis for young people preparing for marriage, with Fr Thierry Germain Randriamiarantsoa.
