Yeah, I read the article about marriage making us happy, and I am not sure what I think. There was a word I thought could be used in that context, and that's "contentment." Happiness the way the world understand it waxes and wanes. When we think "happy," don't we automatically think of euphoria? I don't know as if that's a sustainable thing, ultimately.
ReplyDeletei would have to say that i pretty much agree with the guy who wrote the "marriage making us happy" post. i think that God does want us to be happy, but not happy superficially, the inner peace kind of happiness. I know that my earthy parents want me to be happy, and as a parent i want my kids to be happy, so since God is my heavenly father i would think that my happiness is important to him. marriage can be really really hard at times, we struggle, we fight, we cry, but i can say that my heart is so happy and so full of love and joy for my husband that it totally overwrites the bad experiences.
ReplyDeleteThese all look interesting... I'll head over them and see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Elizabeth...love, K
