Let’s just admit it! Single women want what married women have. Married
women want what single women have. We look at what the other has longingly,
thinking that the other has it just a little better than we do.
Single women dream
of having someone who holds them tight, whom they can
sleep with every night. Married women dream of having the
bed or better still, the house all to them. Single women
watch with a twinge of envy, as married women seem to
blow through their money, and then finagle more from their
husbands. While married women muse of what life would be
like if they could make their own financial decisions without
having to explain its rationale to their husbands. Single
women wish they could marry the man knows them through
and through. While married women get a little annoyed that
their husbands know what they are thinking, feeling, and
doing, sometimes even before they realize it.
It goes on and on. “If
I could just have what they have, my life would be so much
better” We can
sometimes reach the point of obsession wishing for what
others have. That obsession may lead to resentment, low
self-esteem, bitterness, adultery, hasty divorce, hasty
marriage, loneliness, depression, and addiction. Where does
it come from? Why are we so dissatisfied with what we have?
Is it human nature? Is it the American way? Is that why half
the marriages in this country end in divorce?
Do we foolishly jump
into a marriage because we think our lives will be better, and
then have to divorce because we realize
we have made a
mistake? Or maybe we marry for the right reasons, and then
feel dissatisfied and become determined to divorce? If you
are divorced, please do not be offended by what I am saying.
I am not against it. However, I am perplexed by some
marriages I see take place, and some divorces I see happen.
After many years of wondering why, here’s what I have
found.
Some marriages and
divorces would never commence, if both parties fully
appreciated what they had. If we could fully appreciate who
we are, what we have, what we do, and those in our lives we
would have more peace. We would be able to make smarter
choices about what we want and need. Better still, the
universe would bring to our lives exactly what we need at the
time that we need it.
I know it is not easy
to appreciate your life all the time, especially if you live in
the USA. We are constantly receiving messages that what we
have is insufficient, that we need more or better. However,
we must make it a practice to be thankful for what we have
and appreciate the smallest things in our lives. Try this: the
next time you feel like your life has a deficiency, began
listing all the little things you really appreciate. Before you
know it, you will not have room for feeling deficient because
you will see your full life. If you keep this as a regular
practice, you will attract more goodness into your life than
you ever thought possible.
