Pass It On!

This past week, I presented with a question.  “Are you happy?”  The question was asked in context of my marriage.  No one had ever actually asked me if I was happy in my relationship with my husband before, and for the first time in my life I found myself struggling for an answer.

So finally, I came up with this, “Mostly,” and I went to say, “Marriage doesn’t float on cloud nine from the moment you say I do, to the the time God calls you home.  If marriages were never challenged, never strained, and never molded by the two people united, then your relationship with each other would never grow.”

Perhaps that is why so many divorce in communities because when they are strained, when the challenges arises, neither one of them want to grasp hold of the other’s hand and allow God to mold them into a couple.  Instead, we expect and assume it is the other person’s duty to make us happy.

 David Burns from Intimate Connections says this, “There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.”

Today, who are you relaying on to make you happy?  What does happiness really mean?
