EVERYONE has issues. It's not a case of mostly healthy people walking around and a few screwed up people messing it up for the rest of us. We're like pieces of a puzzle, and we attract people whose puzzle pieces fit ours
Excellent point, and thanks for reiterating that b/c my H likes to think 95% of 'everyone else' is healthy and he could have had it better/easier with someone w/out my issues. Granted, it's perhaps true in places, no doubt, but I think we subconsciously choose people who bring out our Big Fat Issues, in order to work thru them. (Or in order for them to destroy us, I think on my more cynical days)
Reading an interesting book (not related to an SSM) called The New Rules of Marriage. I thought the first chapter was wacky, BUT I picked it up in the library and randomly read in the middle and realized it was more honest than some 'marriage' books out there, so I brought it home. I recommend it - gotta get to work, so I can't find the author right now but his first name is Terrance.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
