Ok Juni, there are lots of people who divorce from their mates, cause they like to move on to some "new flesh", the old relatioship doesn`t satisfy them anymore...I think 2.Tim.3 is such a fitting
chapter about what people can turn into, when we
become offcentered, that is selfcentered...
So may be you wonder, whether there is a better
relationship, a better "husband" (we know the Bible`s way of picturing the spiritual relationship) than Jesus...I`d say, try it...
"shop around" or do "windowshopping"...compare offers & if you finally "buy" something, pls write
if you found something more satisfying & fulfilling....I guess I`d be able to tell by your words, whether others would give it a try too,
depending on how satisfied you sound...(sorry, for
being narrowminded, closedeyed or whatever...after having done before coming to Jesus enough comparing, I don`t "buy anything" else anymore, neither do I expect you to get "turned on" better somewhere else...I guess I am lacking the vocabulary to get across what I`d say propably a
bit gentler , nicer in German...yet Christians often have a black & white perception of things & grey is supposed to be
properly "divided up" in their respective parts...
In that regard the family has some hard to define
grade of being grey (I`d say, it hasn`t been all black!!)) I wish you wonder-ful experiences
