The first, last night, was a feeling of envy. I was thinking and wishing I had someone who understood me, I was comparing my relationship with my husband to your's with Jeff. I knew that this feeling of envy was not from God and I knew it came from the ego, so I didn't really pay much attention to it. Later, though, I had a sort of conversation with myself. I was questioning why I didn't have a relationship with my husband like others had with their spouses, why it sometimes felt like he didn't "get me".... But right in the middle of this questioning and listening to the ego I remembered something we had talked about and I remembered all that has happened in the past few years. I remembered, thanks to God, that my spouse does "get me". I thought back to the past few years and how supportive he has been, how he has stood beside me when most men would have run, and how he has stepped aside to let me work through these struggles using CS. It was good to remember. <br />I re-read your blog this morning for the second time and it helped give me some clarity with something I have long wrestled with. I have never felt completely content in my marriage. I often feel like the two of us got married without putting a lot of thought into it. I felt like I had settled because I was getting older and well I should get married, right.?. I know that God always leads us and is guiding us, but I couldn't let go of this idea that I somehow had mapped out my relationship and marriage to my husband. I felt like when I married him I wasn't even listening to God, so how could He have been guiding me?!?!? I read your blog today and this line opened my eyes, <br />"God has been in charge of every single, solitary step on my life path. There has never been a moment when I have changed the tempo, rushed headlong onto the stage of my life, or tripped myself up...or down."<br />God has been guiding me. My marriage wasn't by chance it was divinely decided. My husband and I are both right where we need to be and together we are growing and learning more about Love, kindness, selflessness, compassion, and relationships are all about. I can't compare our relationship to others, we are all so different. It was good reminder from God. Thank you for posting this blog, it really helped me to think through some things. ♥♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14060533.post-42149054655777479672012-02-12T10:37:03.232-07:002012-02-12T10:37:03.232-07:00Thank you for sharing this, Kate.
