From the Gospel according to John
16:12-15

Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
he will guide you to all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
but he will speak what he hears,
and will declare to you the things that are coming.
He will glorify me,
because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
Everything that the Father has is mine;
for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
and declare it to you.”

Little by little.

The Lord prepares us little by little; each one has their own time to understand and come to know Him.
It is the same in our marriage—we must get to know each other gradually, respecting our individual pace and learning from one another.
At all times, we must wait for the Holy Spirit to be the one who guides us, because only in this way will we grow in intimacy with the Lord and gain the ability to recognize Him in everything and everyone.
Our spouse is a reflection of God’s Love, and for that reason, we must listen with love, seeking the Lord in them. We also need to be open to being corrected, because we are not of this world, but sometimes we can be influenced by it and make mistakes.
Our spouse is that Suitable Helper through whom the Lord speaks to us; let us listen with the heart and, little by little, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will see it.

Applied to married life:

Gemma: Jordi, I think it might be good if you were a bit more gentle with the kids. It’s great that they know the rules, but it needs to be done with kindness.
Jordi: You’re right. Sometimes I forget that, after all, they’re just children and they’re still learning how things should be done. How interesting—some time ago, it really bothered me when you corrected me, but now I can see that you do it for my good and to help me grow in Love.
Gemma: I admit that sometimes it still makes me uncomfortable too, but when I take it to prayer, I see that it’s the Lord who wants to help me grow, and you are His best instrument.
Jordi: I love how we’re both learning to listen to our Father through each other!
Gemma: The Eucharist and prayer help us let go of ourselves and become able to see Him.

Mother,

May we be docile so that it is the Holy Spirit who acts in us and through us.
Praised be the Holy Spirit.
