Photo: Sergey Dzhevahashvili-Ilya, how did they celebrate the wooden wedding?- Especially nothing did not suit. It was Easter, we came to our spiritual father Dmitry Roshchin, he had a big holiday at home. There they noted our date a little, and warm words addressed to us. "Your story is like a fairy tale: the priest described the woman who suits you, and you met Ekaterina, who exactly came under this portrait." And you yourself had an idea of the ideal companion?- No. I had no idea of my family, and I did not really want her. Then this desire arose, for a long time tried to start it so and so, until the Lord brought me to this family hearth. There were also no stereotypes about the girls, fortunately. I like women in principle, in this respect it has always been difficult to stop at one. But everyone has one God for you, a dedicated person. And it is of course important to find it, here you can not say anything. "Did you immediately understand that this was Katya?"- I have the image of a good wife and motherto be formed after the wedding. And the main quality in it is participation in your life, no other advantages will replace it. When a person wants to exercise it, he does everything he can, helps in all possible ways. Sometimes even a kind word, which, as they say, and cat is nice, can play a big role. Katya often praises me. For the fact that I have it ... the only one. - That is, family life confirmed the correctness of the choice?- Correctness and true basis. But it's not about choice. Sometimes, a person chooses his mind for a long time, and then it turns out that this is not his. And when something unexpected breaks into your life, it has more chances to become necessary. - Do you agree that in order to meet your soulmate, you must first suffer?- In principle people need to go throughsuffering, because it is hardening. But in relation to God, there are no barter schemes. To each he gives as much as he wants, no matter what the person did. If any of us turn around and look at our lives, it will understand: everything that he received from heaven was given in advance. "Are you now practicing your gift?"— I don’t work it off. It’s a nice gift, I live with it, I bathe in love. Family is a great miracle.
