In the story of the book of Genesis, man and woman met and recognized each other. Then began a story that lasts to this day. Both felt called to become one flesh, not only for the purpose of procreation, but, beyond that, to live united in love and thus become a sign of the love with which God loves us. Man and woman are destined not for selfish solitude, but to build a community in fidelity and love that unites.
In his Gospel, Jesus invites us to go back to the very creation. To realize that in the beginning it was not like this. God created men and women equal. They are flesh of the same flesh. That is why women cannot be just another possession of man like someone who has a car or a house.
The most difficult thing about all this will be to live in love, being faithful, giving ourselves to each other. Jesus invites us to go back to the beginning, to rediscover the original will of God and to try to make it a reality in each of our families.
