I do want to get into the question of "what is the purpose of life?” What I have found, though, is that we have to ponder other fundamental questions before we ponder the BIG question.
Over the years I have asked people, what are the TOP 3 reasons to get married? I was quite amazed that very few actually had an answer. From those that did answer, it totaled close to some 20 different reasons.
People who were already married I asked the same question, but I asked them what they were thinking before marriage and what are they thinking now since that have experienced marriage.
When I coach couples to be able to communicate and to understand how the other side thinks I would usually ask them to complete a list of the 10 items in the poll (plus some ) and then I would show them each the other’s answer and where the compare and differ. Most couples were quite surprised how in the dark they had been.
What I find today more than anytime in the history and existence of this creation that in this country the options and reasons are almost non-existent.
Hope, G"W, to more actively blog about this.
