In a recent conversation, I was talking to Abel about a life changing procedure that I’m considering and Abel crossed the line by chuckling and disregarding my idea. Listen in as we go at it, discussing a topic that we have been pending for some time now and put it to rest once and for all. Am I being too sensitive or emotional or is it simply a lack of Abel’s understanding and sensitivity to certain topics.  If you enjoyed this episode go over to Apple Podcasts and kindly leave us a rating, a review and please subscribe.

As the years have passed my views have changed. With Kassey, my first child I was against the idea of promoting the myth of Santa Claus, however, now with my youngest daughter Sammy I have softened my stance. I tell her that Jesus is the one that tells Santa which toys to bring. In this episode Abel and I decide if we should have a naughty list in our home.

It’s that time of year: Jenni’s anniversary of her passing. When December comes around it’s not about Christmas for me and my family it’s about Jenni. I get the usual calls from media outlets wanting me to come on their show to talk about the worst day of my family’s life. This year I decided I won’t do it anymore. I don’t have to prove to anyone that I’m a good sister. Doing sad intimate interviews about my sister will not be driven by guilt. Would Jenni have wanted this?

Knowing your spouse’s password can be a double edged sword. It gives you a silent power and access to your significant others private information, but it can also divide and cause friction when this power is abused. In our marriage, Abel and I have each other’s passwords. We have nothing to hide from one another, however, at one point in our relationship I was obsessed with checking Abel’s accounts. I found myself exhausted and he felt attacked. As the years have passed our relationship has matured. We still have each other’s passwords but our goal is not to need them. Join us as we share how we struggled with this dilemma and were able to overcome this challenge of trust.

During this episode Abel confessed that he was scared to lose me to another man, my brother Lupe. I have reconciled with Lupe after being distant for several years. I assumed my husband would be happy, instead he was bothered and distant.

Abel loves YouTube! And he loves it even more because it’s helping him with our kids. I on the other hand am very leery about how much YouTube is too much YouTube. We as parents have to be honest with ourselves. YouTube has made it easier to entertain our kids but it might be getting to a point where it’s raising our kids. Abel and I have had heated discussions about the excessive use of YouTube and its influence on our children. What should the boundaries and limitations be for our kids with this form of entertainment? Join us as we discuss this obsession called Youtube.

Abel and I have had a bad week. Even though we are in a much better place in our marriage, we still have our disagreements. This week proved to be full of arguments.

I married Abel for his heart and his amazing voice, NOT his jokes. Abel thinks he is a comedian and sometimes puts his foot in his mouth. I will admit my jokes sometimes get out of hand too.

I often hear the words, “fake Christian” being thrown around. Unfortunately, many use the word of God to cut others rather than using it as a sword of faith. Who decided they can evaluate what a good or bad Christian is anyway? Those words aren’t even in the Bible and only our Lord can see the sincerity in our hearts.

Sexual abuse has been the biggest challenge of my life but Abel was willing to still commit and marry me. He never could have imagined the challenges he’d face being married to a sexual assault survivor, however, he made the conscious decision to love me through it.

When I first told my sister that I liked Abel she said I was ridiculous, not because he was a bad guy but because he was 10 years younger than I. Everyone disagreed with our relationship yet we continued full force. Although I didn’t agree with my family and friends when I was dating Abel, I now have come to understand how such a major age difference can add complications to a relationship.

My father Don Pedro Rivera engraved in my heart that “family is the only thing you have at the end of the day”, and I agree with him. I firmly believe that I have nothing without my family. Once married to Abel, I couldn’t leave my strong family ties behind. Should I have to? Couldn’t Abel be an extension of my Rivera family? I couldn’t find the balance between extended family and my nuclear family because I didn’t automatically make the switch on my wedding day. In this episode, Abel and I open up about our family issues, and how we work every day on finding that happy balance and how we set priorities when it comes to our extended family.   Facebook: Rosie Rivera Oficial Instagram: Rosie Rivera Oficial and Abelsworship Twitter:    Soyrosierivera  Editor: Mariella Sagastume Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-us/id1342297320 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Iguzw5mn2gkeh7qcdgl65xv6joe?t=The_Power_of_Us Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WXQEfrvlW90Ilc4mGEByI?si=3HyGvdcySIK2OSG3gxiZog iHeart App: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/the-power-of-us-28917504// Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

In honor of Mother’s Day, Abel and I sat down and had a candid conversation with my mother Rosa Amelia Rivera Saavedra. My mother spoke of her life with my father and her decision to divorce him after 42 years of marriage. Although this episode was one of the most emotional ones yet by far it has been one of my favorites because we got to sit and talk to a woman that I admire and respect tremendously. My mother opens her heart and explains how a woman knows when it’s time to ask for a divorce. When enough is enough. En honor al Día de las Madres, Abel y yo nos sentamos en una candida plática con mi madre, Rosa Amelia Rivera Saavedra. Hablando de su vida con mi padre y su decisión de divorciarse después de un matrimonio de 42 años. Este programa ha sido uno de los episodios mas emotivos y dificiles pero a la misma ves uno de mis favoritos, porque nos sentamos a conversar con una mujer que admiro y respeto mucho. Hoy ella explica como una mujer sabe cuando es hora de pedir el divorcio.  Facebook: Rosie Rivera Oficial Instagram: Rosie Rivera Oficial and Abelsworship Twitter:   Soyrosierivera  Editor: Mariella Sagastume Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-us/id1342297320 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Iguzw5mn2gkeh7qcdgl65xv6joe?t=The_Power_of_Us Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WXQEfrvlW90Ilc4mGEByI?si=3HyGvdcySIK2OSG3gxiZog iHeart App: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/the-power-of-us-28917504// Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Abel and I believe all relationships go through tough moments and that you can’t quit as soon as it gets hard. In this episode we speak to a very candid friend “Maria” who realized that in her third try at marriage her husband was not the issue. She came to the realization that she was the one that was quitting on the marriage in each attempt. She liked getting married but didn’t like dealing with the issues that came with it and quickly would give up on it and quit. Join us as we hear Maria’s story and how she decided to turn things around with her marriage, deciding to stay and deal with her personal issues by getting help.  Facebook: Rosie Rivera Oficial

Is living in purity in today’s age possible? Most would think it’s not possible. Abel and I disagree. We believe in purity 100% before and during marriage. Today we debate with our guests, hosts of their own podcast “The BS Life”, Vic and Eddie, two men with opposing views regarding purity and virginity. Eddie is a proud virgin and Vic thinks he’s wasting his life away by saving himself for marriage.  Facebook: Rosie Rivera Oficial Instagram: Rosie Rivera Oficial and Abelsworship Twitter:   Soyrosierivera  Editor: Mariella Sagastume Engineer: Cesar Haliwa Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-us/id1342297320 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Iguzw5mn2gkeh7qcdgl65xv6joe?t=The_Power_of_Us Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WXQEfrvlW90Ilc4mGEByI?si=3HyGvdcySIK2OSG3gxiZog iHeart App: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/the-power-of-us-28917504/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

We discuss the roles of men and women in relationships with Mexican singer songwriter Karina Moreno who is open about her relationship experience after facing struggles in her marriage.

Before we get involved with someone we usually have already created our own standards of what we expect from our significant other. Are these standards realistic, are they too strict? Do they reflect our self-esteem? Abel and I have a friend who has been single for over 10 years. He has had one serious girlfriend but has never met a girl he thought he could marry despite dreaming of the big day. Is it that his standards are to strict?
