**Mary and Joseph’s relationship wasn’t based on common interests or similar personalities. While they may have been very compatible, this wasn’t the basis of their unity. Their relationship with God was the foundation of their marriage, and it was this strength that held them together during trials.**
BTTT!
Ultimate goal: to BE a holy family.
Holiness is spiritual wholeness. What the devil gives you is a spiritual picture that is cleverly expurgated. It is what we commonly call a curse.
One very helpful trait will be for all members of the family to bless one another (in God). If Christ said to bless our enemies, shouldn’t we bless our loved ones too? And if loved ones squabble and become “enemies” for a period, the way to solve it is, again, to bless. Families that have prolonged mutual cursing in them will, at best, be empty shells full of hells.
This is a pan-Christian advice. If you want answers that are solely out of the Catholic playbook, then by all means delete my message.
