How I gained a better concept of marriage

From the June 2002 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When I Married my first wife, I thought she was going to make me happy. But it didn't work that way. Depending on another person instead of on God for happiness wasn't the answer.

After our marriage broke up, I felt very alone. Eventually, though, I realized that I wasn't alone, because God was with me. And I could never be separated from Her. God doesn't create us and then forsake us. The Bible reassured me, "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem." Isa. 66:13

One thing I learned from the divorce was that I needed to give more and take less. I discovered that what I really needed was a divorce from self-centered thinking.
