give me an example what I mean by this
when we were all young so we all fell in
love with some girl you know whether you
had a crush and dynamic guts to actually
be in the relationship or you actually
were another teenage relationships 16 15
14 you know whatever was and you gave
your precious heart that had only been
in the hands of your of your loving
parents or your loving siblings and
relatives and you actually placed it in
some girl's hand and what did she do she
will first of all what was that feeling
this is the greatest feeling you've ever
had think about it Bridget you can
recall a feeling like that where you
gave your heart for the first time to
someone and you thought it was the
greatest incredible thing only three of
you be honest tradin have you ever had
that feeling okay and you might have
just had a crush but there was this
intoxicating feeling in the situation
listen what happened so what happens
when you hand something precious to a
fourteen-year-old her 15 year old or 16
year old them right something something
happens and what she does is she takes
your precious heart and she squeezes the
blood out of it because she's only 14 or
she's only 16 she doesn't know how to
care for that if you had a diamond
what's more precious a heart or a
diamond the best one the heart is much
more precious than the diamond you can
stomp on it it won't get even scratched
probably but the heart is your most
important organ meaning your emotions
and what happens is a hand a diamond to
a 14 year old yet you handed your heart
to the 14 or the 16 year old the 17 year
old with 12 year old I don't know how
only
were and when they squeeze you felt the
deepest pain you've ever felt maybe only
matched by your birth when you were
separated from your mother which you
weren't even cognizant up but you felt
the deepest pain you've ever felt in
your life prison if you felt that pain
before same people probably the same
people and you know what you said
yourself by the way do human beings how
human beings like having negative
emotion all right that's we supply the
whole drug and alcohol world based on
our negative emotion is so so so with
human beings don't like hanging around
with negative emotions so you know what
we did we said the following words you
may not remember it but I promise you
said it whether you said it verbally
reset it in your heart you said I will
never love again and unfortunately you
were being serious and if you think
about it I don't care how good a
relationship you've had since then you
never let yourself go like that you
never like a new heart go fully into it
and it and you probably are thinking
that well marriage will be different if
anything marriages even more
disappointing because now I'm married
and I still can't do it and that's the
biggest complaint I get I counts a lot
of couples Council many many couples the
biggest complaint i get is you know it's
either him saying she doesn't give me
her whole heart or it's her complaining
you know he stays it worked so late he
could have easily been home at six but
he comes on at like nine he doesn't give
me his whole heart by the way this is
all the foundation of workaholism
and not wanting to deal with the
engagement the being intimacy because of
this pain that we're afraid of and this
is what leads to this stuff is because
as soon as it starts getting good i
gotta pull away get away from that she's
doing the same thing you guys will be
married one day and you'll experience
this I bless you not to I unless you to
work it through I have ways of how to
get through this but you'll be married
one day and you'll see that your wife is
having trouble giving herself totally
entrusting totally and all that stuff
you know you're gonna want to do you're
going to want to like shoot through her
throat somehow like go through time into
a time capsule and you'd want to go to
every guy that ever broke her heart or
slept with her or anything and you want
to just go like this I married this
woman and she still can't give her heart
to me just a living trust
and she's going to undo the same thing
to you still want to do the same thing
so every time that we go back into the
pattern of the counterfeit of that love
which can often be just casual casual
sexual relationships which is you
realize that that's chasing the
counterfeit of that feeling it's like
trying to get the feeling without
actually going into the vulnerability of
the feeling because remember how
vulnerable it was so we're going for the
counterfeit of the feeling without
actually going into the feeling and but
every time we do that it's just another
brick in the wall all in all it's just a
wall of marriage and children and trying
to relate and be someone who relates
fully to their spouse which creates
normality and and so solidity for
raising it creates a fertile bed for
raising children more healthy now it was
never like this in history you ready for
this throughout history Jews and
Gentiles I'm not preaching here there's
Jews and Gentiles you are not done as a
parent until you married your kid off
which wasn't that old is probably
probably 14 15 you marry kid off
probably 14 or 15 throughout history and
you marry you you're not done certainly
unfortunate kids not gonna marry himself
off so you marry your kid off and today
in the in my community for example if we
marry the boys at the girls get we
married at seventeen eighteen or 18 19
15 17 19 and the boys were married
between 19 and 20 my whole community I
have a massive community my community
there is no single man over the age of
21 we're 21 and up it's 21 maybe 22
maybe an individual
in the same with women because we hand
their whole heart they're innocent and
pure whole heart over in marriage to
someone that we have carefully carefully
investigated and you believe me after
raising a child with everything you put
into it financially emotionally
educationally you're going to be very
careful to your hand that kid too you
guys are too developed all ready for
that you have to marry yourselves off
because no one's gonna your parents just
don't get you they're not going to help
your parents don't get any more you know
you know I'm saying had they married
y'all when you were 14 they're done an
amazing job probably better job than
you're probably going to do but at this
point you're too developed to be married
off you have to basically go through the
gauntlet to get yourselves married which
is this guides I guide people all the
time in this you know you have to be
guided knowing command and the old days
people used to be able to marry
themselves off today it's impossible is
so hard that's why you'll meet people in
their 40s and 50s who still haven't
gotten married in massive quantities
Manhattan you kidding tel Aviv you know
what the single scene is like people in
their starts in two 20s and it basically
never ends very few people and when's
last time you guys went to a wedding how
many wedding to go to a year how many
wedding to go through you they're always
the recently spotted two years ago 20
wow so you hang out with observant
people oh no big square yeah but that's
like the wrong guy and who doesn't hang
out with observing people at all ok yogi
how many weddings you went to last year
well how many weddings you went to last
year actually less you
five wedding about that age you want to
know something that you want to know
something I think in my community this
week this week's sunday through thursday
there are something like 25 weddings
this bruisers this week lost something
like 25 wedding it's a lot of broken
glass let's wrap let's prelim over only
yeah well it's just as there i go to
what you do is you just go to this one
scopa you go this one's dancing other
this one's really sure you just keep
moving to move in and move in a movie
why when you get men you have a wedding
here you have the most random people at
your dinner you know at the actual meal
time because it all depends where
they're holding in there you know
they're trying to street spend at least
possible on cabs to get from wedding the
wedding you know so just whenever they
wound up at your part of the meal is
your part of the wedding is a goofy you
know i guess you could save money that
way just be it like the end be on the
other side of Jerusalem so by the time
they got to your wedding would be like
look sort of 11 at night you know you
know just give them a snack or something
so anyway also you by the way all
weddings in Jerusalem
