Mirror of Personal Growth

Editor's Corner /

Marriage, as designed by God, is meant to reflect the profound relationship between Christ and the church. It serves as a mirror, helping us see both the beauty and flaws within ourselves through the eyes of our spouse. In the unity and intimacy of marriage, we are challenged to embrace reflection rather than deflection. By accepting our spouse’s input and recognizing them as a powerful resource for growth, we learn to adjust, improve, and strengthen our relationship. Though uncomfortable at times, this process of self-awareness and change is essential to deepening our connection and fostering a healthier, more resilient marriage.

Cultural Continuity: The Power of Boundaries in Armenian Christian Tradition

Leave a Comment / Faith /

In the heart of Armenian culture, where faith, tradition, and community intertwine, the practice of setting boundaries has always been a cornerstone of both personal and familial life. With Christianity as the foundation of our national identity, Armenian households became sanctuaries of spiritual devotion, where the teachings of Christ were passed down from generation to generation. Parents instilled in their children the understanding that the home is a sacred space—one that must be protected through clear boundaries that reflect love, compassion, and respect for others. Just as Jesus Christ exemplified the importance of setting boundaries while maintaining empathy and selflessness, Armenian parents taught that the boundaries within our homes should protect our values and promote kindness, humility, and service to others. These boundaries are not only essential for personal well-being but also serve to preserve cultural identity and continuity across generations. In a world where cultural assimilation threatens our ancestral heritage, these boundaries help keep the richness of our Armenian and Black roots alive, ensuring that we pass down a legacy of faith, love, and integrity to our children.
