All men are damaged in some way. But this is not always a bad thing.
It's how they went from boys to men.
Their women should be the safe space they can enter when life is too hard and cruel to bear. Never belittle their suffering and above all never ridicule.
If a man trusts you enough to be vulnerable around you, then you have a great treasure. Don't lose it.

COMMENTARY
The elder Tobias is the model of a good father. By word and example he brought up his son from his earliest youth in the fear of God. When the time came that he expected to die, he forcibly reiterated the, most important points of his teaching, and his exhortations must have made all the greater impression on the son, because the father preached nothing that he had not himself constantly practised. Tobias cared for the salvation of his son’s soul more than anything, and therefore he admonished him above all things to avoid sin and especially to cultivate the virtues of filial piety, the fear of God, justice, brotherly love, gentleness and a great confidence in God.
The younger Tobias is the model of a good son. He listened eagerly to his father’s beautiful exhortations, and made this promise: “I will do all these things, father, which thou hast commanded me.” He kept this promise most faithfully, as you will see by what follows. If a child does not receive his parents’ advice willingly, he sins against that obedience which he owes them.
The connexion between the First and Fourth Commandment. Tobias’ exhortation shows us how very important the observance of the Fourth Commandment is for children. Does it not strike you as strange that his first exhortation should be: “Honour thy mother &c.” and that he should only say afterwards: “Have God in thy mind &c.?” There is a reason for this, because reverence for parents is, so to speak, at the root of religion and of the fear of God. He who does not love and honour his parents, who are his visible benefactors, will not love and honour God, who is his invisible Father and Benefactor. The son who does not observe the Fourth Commandment is ungrateful and irreligious.
Defrauding of wages. Among his other exhortations Tobias said to his son: “If any man has done work for thee, pay him his hire.” This is a duty of justice. He who does not give his promised wages to the labourer, that lives by the work of his hands, commits one of the four sins which cry to heaven for vengeance.
Death is the separation of soul and body. Tobias said to his son: “When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body.” By death the soul is parted from the body, and God calls it before Him to be judged. The body, meanwhile, returns to the earth, until God shall raise it up at the last day, and re-unite it for ever to the soul.
The enemies of our souls are all those things which lead to mortal sin. They who commit grievous sins are enemies not only of God and their neighbour, but also of their own soul; because they rob it of God’s grace, and plunge it into everlasting ruin.
The married state. We learn some good lessons from this history of Tobias. The Angel advised him to enter into the married state. Therefore that state is good and pleasing to God, and persons who intend to marry should not do so without consulting God by earnest prayer. We also learn that some marriages are bad and full of danger, like those of Sara with her previous seven husbands, who had no religion and no fear of God and no pure motives in their action. It is therefore necessary to prepare oneself by prayer and to purify one’s intention by the highest motives, both before and at the beginning of that holy and difficult state. These lessons have double force in the New Testament, where marriage has been raised by our Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament.
APPLICATION. Lay to heart the exhortations of old Tobias, just as if your own father had spoken them to you on his death-bed. Ask yourself every day whether you have acted up to his teaching.
Have you always gladly followed the advice of your father and mother? Are your parents obliged to find fault with you very often? Have you ever grieved or angered them? You cannot be a child of God if you do not honour and obey your parents. Whenever they bid you do anything, say to yourself, in the words of the young Tobias: “I will do all these things, father (or mother), which thou hast commanded me.”

Prière de Saint Alphonse de Liguori pour les Époux et les Parents
Mon Sauveur Jésus, qui nous avez unis d'une manière indissoluble par un grand Sacrement,
🤵♂👰 Maintenez parmi nous l'esprit d'union et de concorde pour nous aimer mutuellement comme vous aimez votre Église ;
🤵♂👰 Donnez-nous l'esprit de patience et de douceur, pour supporter paisiblement nos défauts ;
🤵♂👰 Armez-nous de l'esprit de prudence et de sainteté, afin que nous demeurions toujours dans les bornes de nos devoirs, et que nous ne fassions rien qui offense vos regards, rien qui soit opposé au profond respect dû à votre Sacrement.
🤵♂👰 Envoyez-nous l'esprit de sage sollicitude et de prévoyance, pour subvenir, selon les règles de la justice et de la charité, aux besoins de notre famille.
🤵♂👰 Préservez-nous de l'esprit du monde et de l'amour de nos vanités, afin que nous ne cherchions qu'à vous plaire, à vous, notre Dieu, notre amour, le vrai lien de nos coeurs.
🤵♂👰 Inspirez-nous surtout ce véritable esprit de foi qui fasse de notre demeure une école de piété et un sanctuaire de toutes les Vertus.
🤵♂👰 Loin de nous, ô mon Dieu, loin de nous le malheur d'être, par notre tolérance ou notre vie peu édifiante, une cause de ruine pour nos enfants.
🤵♂👰 Loin de notre maison, loin, bien loin d'elle tout ce qui serait une pierre de scandale, une occasion de péché.
👶 Ô Marie, je recommande à votre coeur maternel mes pauvres enfants : soyez leur mère, formez leur coeur à la vertu. Tendre Mère, qu'ils soient pieux, charitables, toujours chrétiens ; que leur vie, pleine de bonnes oeuvres, soit couronnée par une sainte mort. Puissions-nous, ô Marie, nous retrouver tous ensemble dans le ciel, pour contempler votre gloire, pour célébrer vos bienfaits et votre amour et vous bénir éternellement avec votre cher Fils, Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
Ainsi soit-il.

Translation: Prayer of Saint Alfonso de Liguori for Spouses and Parents
My Savior Jesus, who has united us indissolubly through a great Sacrament,
🤵♂️👰 Maintain among us the spirit of union and harmony to love each other as you love your Church;
🤵♂️👰 Give us the spirit of patience and gentleness, to bear our faults peacefully;
🤵♂️👰 Arm us with the spirit of prudence and holiness, so that we always remain within the limits of our duties, and that we do nothing that offends your eyes, nothing that is opposed to the deep respect due to your Sacrament.
🤵♂️👰 Send us the spirit of wise solicitude and foresight, to support, according to the rules of justice and charity, the needs of our family.
🤵♂️👰 Preserve us from the spirit of the world and the love of our vanities, so that we seek only to please you, you, our God, our love, the true bond of our hearts.
🤵 ♂👰 Above all, inspire us with this true spirit of faith that makes our home a school of piety and a sanctuary of all Virtues.
🤵♂️👰 Far from us, oh my God, far from us the misfortune of being, by our tolerance or our unedifying life, a cause of ruin for our children.
🤵♂️👰 Far from our home, far, far from her anything that would be a stone of scandal, an occasion of sin.
👶 O Mary, I commend my poor children to your maternal heart: be their mother, train their hearts in virtue. Tender Mother, may they be pious, charitable, always Christians; may their life, full of good works, be crowned with a holy death. May we, O Mary, find ourselves all together in heaven, to contemplate your glory, to celebrate your benefits and your love and to bless you eternally with your dear Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
So be it.

"There is only one form of freedom which they tolerate; and that is the sort of sexual freedom which is covered by the legal fiction of divorce... They are trying to break the vow of the knight as they broke the vow of the monk. They recognise the vow as the vital antithesis to servile status, the alternative and therefore the antagonist. Marriage makes a small state within the state, which resists all such regimentation. That bond breaks all other bonds; that law is found stronger than all later and lesser laws. They desire the democracy to be sexually fluid, because the making of small nuclei is like the making of small nations. Like small nations, they are a nuisance to the mind of imperial scope. In short, what they fear, in the most literal sense, is home rule."

“There are some marriages in which the spouses are not divided in heart, but completely devoted to God. But they are very rare: who denies this? And being rare, nearly all the persons who are such, were not joined together in order to be such, but being already joined together, became such.”

I have been waiting to ask this for some time. Honest answers please ! ! !
For those in a relationship currently, did you ever end up marrying your "Highschool Sweetheart?" If not, when did you meet your beloved and when did you decide that was the person you wanted to spend the rest of your days with?

"The traditions of humanity support humanity and the central one is this tradition of Marriage. And the essential of it is that a free man and a free woman choose to found on earth the only voluntary state; the only state which creates and which loves its citizens. So long as these real responsible beings stand together, they can survive all the vast changes, deadlocks, and disappointments which make up mere political history."
