I thought I would throw this one out there for discussion, not sure if this thread belongs in General Discussion or Relationships and Spirituality. I am choosing General.
A year ago I was seeing a counselor who is a practicing Jew. His approach to me was influenced strongly by how he viewed me as someone with a strong Christian background.
Yes, that last paragraph is relevant.
I have been married 22 years and have held on a lot longer than my counselor thought I should, except for one factor that he thinks has had a heavy influence on my staying with my marriage. He says this --
Evangelical Christians have a tendency to hold on to their marriages not just because they think marriage is wrong -- they have the hope that there is a heaven. Christians are willing to hold on to something that does not make them happy because they have the hope for eternal happiness.. and they do not want to jeopardize that.
How legitimate is that?:scratchhead:
