Is your marital advice coming from a Yahoo ?

In a recent Yahoo “Shine” article “Are you stuck in a semi-happy marriage?”,  I read a closing remark:

• “people can still end up feeling only semi-happy. “There’s a part of your soul that isn’t nourished in marriage, and it’s too big a part to live without,”….

Really ? When will the world learn ? Remember that thing called church ?… and a book called the Bible ? The words of my SS teacher from 25 yrs ago still ring in my ears, many psychologists need to point couples to daily reading what God wants, not what each other wants, and prayer for each other…with each other.

Perhaps we are stuck in a selfish lifestyle – lighten up, ease off, and marry for ministry people, marry for Gods purpose.

I just had to get this off my mind, P

ps, sorry no links today, this is from the horses mouth.
