baggage yourself, So there is a step here how to

cleanse you about that. How to feel good about yourself
because you are a star. Even though nobody tells you,
you got to feel it that you are.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You understand and isn't that part of the problem though,
because people don't feel that love, they don't get that
acknowledgement right, So you have to be able to tell
yourself that right.

Tell yourself. So we give here a lot of suggestions
and a lot of goods to first your start after
you are ready yourself. Then we have other suggestions on

So I'm going to put you on the spot, Mordecai.
Tell us about the wedding. Tell us about your wedding.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well, our wedding.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Imagine we were poor, Okay, we didn't have money, but
everything that work out so good. Everybody chip in, you know,
a little bit from from her parents, a little bit
from my parents, a little bit from and Raquel and
my uncle Angel, and from the side Sareta and Andrique.
(02:52):
Then we have family from the Dallas. And my cousin Albert.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Who had just.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Rest in peace, who had just graduated front Culinaris school,
came and a couple of days before he says, what
are you doing for food? I says, I don't know.
It's as well, let me take care of that. And
he prepared. It was spontaneously, and then the synagogue gave
(03:23):
us the whole and didn't charge us for the whole.
And and then our cousin was a disc jockey and
he says, I'll bring my equipment, and everything put was
put together in such a wonderful event, and we had
(03:47):
over two hundred people.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Wow, two hundred people, that's a big word.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It was a big wedding.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So do it now on to us more.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
But you know what it shows is that actually you
don't have to be wealthy in order to be able
to tie your nuts or to get together on your
relationship and to bring the witnesses of your family and
friends and to have some good memories.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Absolutely, what is the secret to your relationship to lasting
this long and starting so young as you Because you change,
you develop as you get older. No matter who you are,
you change from your twenties and your thirties and kids
and all the things that happened between. What is it
that made you both so successful.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
From the beginning?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
We put into practice what we call the four c's,
which I have. I said, my Aune Raquel taught me
to have those three and we shared it together. And
the four C is. The first C is we're talking
about commitment. Okay, a person, no matter what they do,
(05:06):
whether it's coming into a relationship, once they make a commitment,
they are committed for all the life onto eternity.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Which nowadays they don't know, they're just going and if.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
It wasn't work out, so which we talk a lot
about commitment in this book.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Okay, Then the other one is compliment. There is not.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
One day that twenty times or thirty times a day.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I compliment my wife.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Not only on her beauty and her actions or anything,
but whatever she does because we work together. You know, wow,
you did this so good both ways. And then she
did all these choices, and then she compliments, wow, you
did it.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And that is a very helpful issue. And we don't
have enough of that. We we need to correct instead
of complain about the other person. Look for reason to compliment,
and those compliments will get back to you the same way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Everybody's looking for a good compliment on each other. And
I said, hey, hello, I like your dress, I like.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Your lous It goes a long, long way. And the
third se is.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Communication.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Communication, okay, Especially that we have been in business since
we got married, we had to have communication.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
We don't.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
We didn't see each other the same way on every issue,
but at least we talk about it, and then we
give ourselves a chance to each other to try it. Okay,
Well let's try your way. If it works, okay, so
then that will she said the same thing, and we communicate, okay.
(07:08):
Or if there is a differences at the beginning when
we get married, we also had difference.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's why it's the force. See compromise, compromise. The compromise
is very important. That's not always is your way or
my way. Right, have to compromise in the middle.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And you both knew you were, Hey, I'm willing to
do that.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
We acknowledge that we are compromising and we are we
are committed to be able to do that. Then we
just added another c that it says is cruising. Take
a lot of cruising, because cruising give you the opportunity
(07:56):
to be together, to rely is to have intimacy, to
be to recreate your love, and.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
To strengthen yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
And that's uh, that's one of the factors. And we
talk a lot about those those things in this book.
Like Esther was saying, you know, the book is divided
in two parts. The first part is actually cleansing our soul.
We all, we all have a lot of baggage or
(08:32):
that that we have put into our mind or other
people have put into our mind that they say, oh,
you're not good, or you never amount to anything, or
your or make it.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You never make it, or or they will, or you having.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Abuse or whether it's in during the the elementary school
or and those things stays in the back of our mind.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And believe it or not, we have found out that
those things.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Actually holds you back from success and you don't shine
as a star that God had created.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
You to be, you see, right.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
And once you clean that, we give a complete detail
of how to go by without using any particular religion,
because in all of the religion there is there's ways
of how to to cleanse your souls, sure you know,
but this is a practical way. Just to sit down
(09:39):
on a quiet room, meditate and go back as far as.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You you can go.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
And as you start remembering things, start writing it down,
and once you finish writing it down, then consciously says, well,
this is not going to be with me anymore. I'm
going to get rid of all of this thing here.
And once you're very cleansed, you say, well, now it's
(10:10):
a new star.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I'm going to let God chime my star, okay.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
And then you're ready to move in into the fact that.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
To find your soul, date that person that would be
with you, so that you can.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Help to elevate your spirit and to purify your soul, okay,
and to rejoice in life and have prosperity, you know.
And then we go detail by detail of what you
need to know in order to make those things happen.
(10:54):
Like we have like eighteen recommendations okay, of what to
dialogue between, you know, before.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Right before the couples. So actually it's a great it's
one of the yes, a great resource. Just that alone
is so valuable because there isn't enough dialogue about that
because you're crazy, you're in love, you're beautiful, all the
outside shines, and you don't go. I think I'm saying
some couples don't go deep enough.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Most of the couple that get divorced, which is been
going away high divorces because the people get married and
they say, well, if it doesn't work out, I'm out
of here, okay, And that's not that's not the way
to go. You have to be committed and you had
to make it happen, okay. But most of the people,
(11:49):
they they turn away because of money. Sometimes the woman
makes more money than the than the man, okay, and
then sometimes then the man spend.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
More money than the woman.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
So we learned from an early age to be able
to maintain our accounts together, which we know a lot
of a lot of is fashionate, a lot of couples
these days, they say, oh, you keep your account, I
keep my account and you do okay, and we'll look
contributor for this and you contribute, And that is the
(12:39):
wrong way to do it, according to our understanding.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
You see, it's your suggestions. You're doing one. Sure if
it works for us, I think it may work for us.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Well, we've talked about that. The fact that you've maintained
this relationship for so long and are so committed and
happy together, and obviously life throws you curveballs. You've dealt
with curveballs, but you were able to whether that the
four c's having that knowing in your mind right, and
(13:11):
that's what you're saying, that your money's together for you.
That was what worked because you're not saying, well, what happened?
You know, how come you don't have this? Or why
are you doing this? And that becomes the blame game sometimes.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Right it is. And we talk a lot also about
the love buttons. Each one of us has a love
button of what is it that actually triggered us to
elevate and to feel good? And it's very easy for
us to find and we go through that how to
find the love button of your of your couple or
(13:49):
your spouse to asking question and then put it into practice,
because sometimes some couple they feel that the only time
that they had to be together is when they are
in a sexual relationship and intimacy. But you know, intimacy
starts from the early in the morning, when you start
(14:10):
the compliments and the love and touching all of those
love button. Honey, can I throw the garbage for you?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Okay? What can I help you?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Do?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
You want me to cook tonight for you?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
This thing or she will say, oh, I'm going to
cook you and a special dinner for you, the one
that you love the most.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Oh, I love it, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
So those things they create the love button, that create
the atmosphere so that when you come at the end
of the day, then you want to be intimate.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Then it's spontaneous, it's easy.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Everybody is a coordinated and that is very important to know,
you know, right.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Right, starting early and throughout the day. And it's so
easy to do, but a lot of people don't do it.
That's what they need. Your book, your start, put those compliments,
put that all together for sure. What else would you
want people to know about the book? What would you
hope they take away from reading your book.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
It's the whole process that goes together, you know, from
cleansing your soul from the then preparing yourself for meeting
your soul made finding your soul maid, and how you
go about to be able to dialogue so that you
to communicate and understand and important eachue is to talk
(15:34):
about some you know, most of the time when people
fall in love, sometimes they are different religions, or they
come from different part of the world or different part
of the country, and they have different customs and unless
you talk about it, and you know, sometimes let's say a
(15:54):
family is used to handling certain stress that if we
come to an argument, okay, the other person, in order
not to continue with the argument should stand up and
get away from the room and don't talk.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
But the other person, they say, whenever there is a
difference of opinion that is creating an argument, we have
to be able then to actually confront each other dialogue,
talk about it.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Different customers that everybody brings in from what they saw
on their family, you know, from their parents.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Right, even if you have the same religion, even if
you're from the same place, there's different customs in the family.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
And the families okay, And you'll be surprised at how
many times when we have difference of opinion and we
are starting to argue about it, and we says, you
know what, let's cut it, let's make up right, okay,
(17:06):
and leave it for tomorrow and we'll talk about tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And tomorrow is not a big deal.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Tomorrow. We forgot about.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
One thing is that this book is not only for
single It could be for already marriage whatever. It's un
community because everything works even now. You can start getting
advantage of it right now. It's not only for a
