Dividiendo nuestros 40 a\u00f1os de matrimonio en cuatro etapas \u2014 una por cada d\u00e9cada \u2014, durante las pr\u00f3ximas cuatro semanas compartir\u00e9 cada una de ellas. Si est\u00e1 casada\/o o en una relaci\u00f3n a largo plazo, probablemente mencionar\u00e9 la etapa que usted est\u00e1 viviendo ahora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etapa 1: Conoci\u00e9ndonos<br>No importa cu\u00e1nto tiempo hayan salido juntos; cuando comienzan a vivir bajo el mismo techo, descubren cosas que no sab\u00edan del otro \u2014 no porque estuvieran ocultas, sino porque nunca hab\u00edan surgido. Los primeros diez a\u00f1os est\u00e1n llenos de estos descubrimientos. Muchas parejas discuten sobre los est\u00e1ndares de \u201climpieza\u201d, los d\u00edas de lavado, los platos en el fregadero, los horarios de dormir, la administraci\u00f3n del dinero\u2026 y eso es solo el comienzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Para muchas parejas, los hijos llegan durante esta d\u00e9cada, introduciendo un nuevo nivel de descubrimiento \u2014 y desacuerdo. \u00bfQui\u00e9n se levanta por la noche? \u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo dejamos llorar al beb\u00e9? \u00bfDebe dormir con nosotros? \u00bfC\u00f3mo disciplinamos, corregimos e instruimos? Hay mucho material para trabajar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tambi\u00e9n aprendemos a dar. Nos guste o no, el matrimonio y la paternidad requieren sacrificio. Antes de tener hijos, yo me negaba a levantarme por cualquier cosa \u2014 otra cobija, un vaso de agua, nada. Esas expectativas desaparecen r\u00e1pidamente. Despu\u00e9s de un d\u00eda largo, a\u00fan hay comidas que preparar, personas que cuidar y responsabilidades que atender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si a\u00f1adimos luchas personales, heridas de la infancia, miedos, ego y orgullo \u2014 lo \u201cnormal\u201d que todos traemos \u2014, el estr\u00e9s de estos a\u00f1os tiene sentido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pero no todo est\u00e1 perdido. Prosperar en la primera d\u00e9cada significa aprender habilidades y reunir herramientas. Para nosotros, eso incluy\u00f3 encontrar una iglesia, asistir a clases matrimoniales, leer libros, orar y rodearnos de personas honestas que hab\u00edan recorrido ese camino antes. Cada lecci\u00f3n nueva iba a nuestra caja de herramientas relacional: habilidades de comunicaci\u00f3n, la sabidur\u00eda de Proverbios y los consejos de parejas con experiencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los primeros diez a\u00f1os no son f\u00e1ciles. Sin herramientas \u2014 o si las ignoramos \u2014 podr\u00edamos pensar que cometimos un error al estar en esta relaci\u00f3n. Pero construir una base de pr\u00e1cticas saludables ahora nos prepara para lo que viene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La pr\u00f3xima semana hablaremos de la Etapa 2.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arturo and I shared a Valentine\u2019s message at the church of dear pastor friends.
