Before I was married, I had the desire to possess a standard by which I could conduct my marriage. Although in my parental home love and firm ethical concepts prevailed and we had a faint notion of God, nothing in the way of formal religion was included in my upbringing.
In classes on religion I came to realize quite clearly that the concepts of Christianity possessed a natural attraction for me and constituted a challenge for mankind. One time when I found the question "What would Jesus say to that?" written in large letters on the wall of a restaurant that was under Christian management, I knew that that was to be my standard; my marriage would have to be able to measure up to Christian demands.
That, however, appeared to be by no means easy. My husband's character seemed to me to be so unusually difficult that after several years of marriage I was considering separation. Friends learned of it and invited me to come to see them. Without any explanation, immediately after my arrival in the evening, they took me with them to a Christian Science testimony meeting.
