Ni la parole donnée, ni la signature d'un contrat, ni la sexualité vécue n'ont le pouvoir de rendre le couple durable. Pas même l'affectivité et la volonté de suivre d'excellents conseils. Alors que nous y avions cru, l'amour rencontre un jour presque inévitablement insatisfaction et manque. La brèche qui s'ouvre ainsi dans le couple peut être sa chance. Se différencier de l'autre, pour devenir qui l'on est, en restant relié : impossible jonction ou paradoxal accomplissement ? Tel est l'enjeu du couple, et le creuset de son indissolubilité. La différence entre la femme et l'homme appelle une conversion radicale du désir. L'autre ne sera jamais mon tout, pas plus que je ne dois l'être pour lui, pour elle. Cet écart, lieu de la parole et de la rencontre, désigne la place du Dieu unique et proche par son Christ. Qui accepte l'offre « Je t'aime comme tu es » adressera un jour à l'autre cette parole, venue du souffle nouveau qui rend libre. Ce livre propose un face-à-face avec soi-même pour la personne qui aspire à se situer en vérité et amour avec l'autre. Il s'appuie sur le mouvement intérieur de l'Évangélisation des profondeurs, initié par Simone Pacot, où s'articulent les dimensions humaines : corps, psychologie et esprit. Chacun de nous peut se sentir concerné par ce chemin d'incarnation.

Neither a promise made under oath, nor a signature on a contract, nor a sexual relationship has the power to keep a couple together. Not even affection and the willingness to follow expert advice. Although we may really have believed in it, the day comes when love almost inevitably encounters dissatisfaction and shortcoming. But the breach which then appears in the couple can in fact be salutary. To become differentiated from each other, to become who you really are while remaining together: an impossible injunction or a paradoxical achievement? That is the challenge of the couple, and the core of its indissolubility. The difference between man and woman calls for a radical conversion of desire. The other will never be everything for me, nor vice versa. This gap between the two, this space that permits dialogue and coming together, marks the place of the unique God, near to us through His Son Christ. Whosoever accepts the offer “I love you just as you are” will one day address these words, which transmit a new and liberating lease of life, to their spouse. This book proposes a conversation with the self, intended for those who aspire to a truthful and loving relationship with another. It uses the inner movement of the Evangelisation of the Inner Self, initiated by Simone Pacot, wherein the human dimensions - the body, psychology and spirit - are articulated in harmony. This is a path to incarnation that can speak to all of us.
