I want to lead my children into truth but in the world they hear deceiving words. These deceitful words have great power. They are said cleverly, spoken by those who claim an expertise. These words are multiplied by the media and people feel that they are arriving at some new understanding. The world has followed a path of deceit and it has led to nowhere. Now, I must invite them to turn back, to return to the truth. I will do this by teaching what should be obvious.

The love of a man for a woman is sacred, and inviolate. This is the way it should be from the beginning. The woman must be respected and lifted up in the heart of the man who loves her. She must be special to him, holy and sacred, in a sense untouchable.

If he acts this way toward her, she will be ennobled and his love for her will increase and grow, until a moment comes when he will say, “She is the one chosen by God to be my partner for life. She will be the mother of my children”.

What a glorious moment, when the divine mystery, the eternal plan of God is revealed to a man and a woman through the circumstances of their meeting, their mutual attraction, their willingness to share special moments, and especially because they walked in truth.

Contrast this with those who have been deceived by the world which teaches that these attractions should serve selfish interests. Lust grows and strangles the budding romance. It never flowers and is soon discarded, wilted and never reaching its full beauty. Then, when the man is lonely and the woman is rejected they experience a resentment in their hearts. Really, they have been deceived. They have choked off the possibilities that existed in the gift of each other.

To the young, I say, “Cast off the deceits of the world. You are wasting these vital years of your youth. Live in truth in your romantic relationships. They contain a great promise, but if you squeeze these flowers by seeking your self-interests you will never discover what could have been.
