1. What is the purpose or purposes of marriage?
Most people barely think about why they get married and end up where their best efforts to maintain takes them. This unscientific approach leads to a high divorce rate and unhappy unfulfilling marriages
Those who stick it out for the sake of their children are victims of their own morality. They suffer through or plod through till death parts them creating some relief. If only they knew about love!
Unfortunately most only see love as a receiver and never discover the joys of being a giver. Their selfish approach can never bring happiness because their desires and expectations always exceed their partner’s abilities to serve their ever increasing neediness
Socially, we can change the world by properly raising children in homes filled with love and harmony-this is called “regulating procreation”. Individually, we can elevate our own lives by learning and practicing unconditional love in the safe environment of our marriage-Practicing unconditional love is the “secret” to a great marriage.
2. What is the most I can hope to get out of my marriage?
Why settle for so little when there is so much you can have
Why settle for so little when there is so much you can have
Why settle for so little when there is so much you can have
Like anything else, if you know how to do something you have only to do those things that accomplish your desires. Marriage can give it all when you know how.
3. Can I learn how to avoid argument by learning better communication?
There is never a good reason to argue and it is a fools folly to imaging any good coming from it
This lore is as impractical as it is absurd, though it sounds great on paper. Learning why arguments start is like learning where the mud holes are, so you can avoid them and stay on the path that brings you to harmonious happiness
That would be like jumping out of a moving car because it is headed for a cliff, when all you have to do is hit the brakes or steer away
Learning how to appreciate your spouse’s point of view, putting your love for them over your own opinion and seeing them as your equal will allow the doors of patient discussion to open to loving synergy and connection. Arguments are mud on the windshield of life
