Prologue

Dear friends:

When I wrote the book Constructing Conjugal Love, I never imagined it would have such an impact and several print runs. Maybe it was the fact of having achieved the goal: to provide to the reader an affordable, fun and easy way to reflect on love and married life material. Readers and groups of married couples for some time have insisted that I continue to provide this type of material.

The testimony of many who commented on the use of the book, and its benefits, also encouraged me in this work, as in the case of Mabel and Thomas, who provided this writing to share with you:

Thomas: why one day I just felt...

Mabel: why one day I thought I could by myself...

Thomas: why one day I thought we were two and I was actually alone...

Mabel: why one day I felt we were no longer one, since when ... for how long...?

Thomas: why one day I thought I did not need anyone, not even God...

Mabel: why one day needing someone, God spoke to me through the words of a friend...

Thomas: when I thought that everything was collapsing and that my life no longer had any meaning to me ... that day I looked in the mirror and came across a stranger...

Mabel: in the emptiness of the abyss, on the brink of total collapse, in the back of your eyes God lit a flame and removed the ashes of my heart...

Thomas: in the middle of all this, “someone” who did not even believe was a friend handed me the book Building Conjugal Love.

We approached him with many cracks in our soul. She was anxious and I was suspiciously. Holding hands, on those nights, we went out of the abyss, cleaning our wounds and rebuilding dialogue and lost harmony.

All this has motivated me in the realization of this new book: FRUITFUL HEARTS.

FRUITFUL HEARTS wants to help the growth of the couple so that their hearts are filled with love bountiful in fruits of happiness. The three parts of the book are unified in one sentence: “We love in Jesus.” The first part wants to give the couple the opportunity to focus on themselves, and analyzes to what extent they can overcome the “I” to achieve the “US.” “We love each other” corresponds to the second part, which tries to guide in the strengthening, knowledge and growth of marital love. “In Jesus”, aims to highlight the reality that he lives in the midst of the Christian marriage and brings experience of love.

The objective of this book is to provide material, which is working for many, within reach of married couples so that they can discuss the essentials of life, that both are building, using themes that give them the opportunity to confront realistically and with ease their daily lives. It is the hope that these pages will also help those couples who are preparing to live the vocation of marriage.

Each of the themes has the same format. Ideally, the couple will read them and take the opportunity to talk and pray together. It can also be worked in matrimonial groups, respecting the privacy of the members.

May God bless these pages and those who come to them to renew the freshness of their marital love.
