It's also in the discontent in still-intact marriages, created by the feeling that one "could have done better" in choosing a marriage partner. If that same person were motivated to "do better" as a husband and father or wife and mother, everyone in that marriage situation would be happier, and (much more importantly) the marriage would better emulate, as it is supposed to, the love of Christ for the Church. I'm quite sure that Jesus "could have done better" than me; I'm very grateful that He didn't.Keith Schooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078256877683382439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-1153164289548198282006-07-17T15:24:00.000-04:002006-07-17T15:24:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more.

Good marriages are not found, they are made through hard work and commitment. That's not to say that Neil Clark Warren has it all wrong, there are compatible personality traits, etc, but the idea that there's "one person out there for me" is a dangerous fallacy. It has created a society of people constantly trading in their spouse for a "better" one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
