According to Mehr News Agency, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, made statements and recommendations to young couples and families during the recitation ceremony of the marriage contract sermon on 01/11/2013, which is being published for the first time on the occasion of the marriage day.
Ayatollah Khamenei said: Of course, love is one [امر] It is God-given, but firstly, it is up to us to keep it, and secondly, to increase and decrease it. If there was love between two people, these two people can maintain it if they behave correctly; Like a young sapling that has not yet taken life, they can pull it out of the ground, throw it away, destroy love; They can increase, decrease, direct love. This is the hand of man himself, but he must learn his way, trust in God Almighty and ask God for help.
In a recommendation to the parents, he clarified: Our recommendation is that they should try their best to strengthen this family. Everyone should try as much as he thinks and as much as he can discern.
The full text of the Leader of the Revolution’s statements is as follows.
Well, one thing is the responsibility of you two, but one thing is also the responsibility of the families; What concerns the two of you is that you should try your best to make this new family center last and flourish and be happy; Put all your effort into this; The way is to increase love in the family. Of course, love is one [امر] It is God-given, but firstly, it is up to us to keep it, and secondly, to increase and decrease it.
If there was love between two people, these two people can maintain it if they behave correctly; Like a young sapling that has not yet taken life, they can pull it out of the ground, throw it away, destroy love; They can increase, decrease, direct love; This is the hand of man himself, but one must learn its way, trust in God Almighty and ask God for help; You can do these things. Love is in the mortar of this building; In fact, when this was mortar, these two stones, these two bricks, these two parts stick together and it becomes a set. So, the first thing is to make this love, this mixture as thick as possible and preserve it, God willing, for the happiness of their own family.
And our second advice to this husband and wife – this girl and boy who now, God willing [وقتی] We read marriage, they become husband and wife – it is to be compatible with each other. Whatever compromise with America, Zionists and bad people is bad, compromise with wife is good; Of course, compromise with other friends is also good, but better than all compromises is this compromise with the spouse that a person makes with his wife; Now, what does “make” mean? There is a time when they date each other, conspire to do a great work, an important work, a good work. that it is very good; This is also a good compromise, but there is a time when when they look at each other, they see an anomaly, a problem on the other side. [در اینجا] Compatibility is to build with him; Do not magnify and build small defects; This is compatibility. This is our second advice to you.
Our advice to respectable families, i.e. parents – both the parents of the bride and the parents of the groom – is to do everything they can to strengthen this family; Everyone should try as much as he thinks and as much as he knows; Make this the main basis; The rest of the things are secondary; How much her dowry will be now, what her dowry will be, what her wedding dress will be, all of these are secondary and secondary issues; The more contented and careless you are in these things, the better and the closer you are to God’s blessing and mercy; “God willing”. God shows his mercy to the extent that his command is obeyed; Almighty God’s order in these works is that man can do whatever he can [این مسائل فرعی را] to minimize; Anyway, you yourself are more comfortable; These are the second degree, what is the first degree is that these two families stay together and live well, God willing.
May God give you good children.
