In Marriage True Doubt Is The Door To True Belief

Where does one find truth and security in another? Is it true doubt that leads to true belief?
I could say rather easily that it is in the arms of my friend for life.

Beyond the days of romance when I found myself being guided towards a loving relationship with a girlfriend to someone who was to become not only my wife, but the best friend in my life.

There is probably no greater companion for contempt, compassion and continuity in the structure of a persons life than being married.

Marriage by it’s inherent nature, brings about the complete reality of change in people. Some, like me were fortunate to see and discover that change early in the relationship. However, there are many others who are to this day still struggling to find that peaceful reality and change in their lives. To them I say…hang in there. Your time will come.

My change…my reality? This is where you learn the meaning of true doubt being the open door to true belief. There were so many doubts in the beginning of traveling down that road to forever together that I could and should have written a book!

Sure, I could launch into some of the many acts of doubt and frustration that have led to what I will call the comedy of errors in true love…that as it turns out is the glue that has caused our union to be as strong as it is in this now 30 plus years later.

But I don’t want take the chance on you splitting a gut and not being as productive as you need to be today!

Take the time, in our first “home”, my lovely was attempting to cook dinner and the gas ran out.

Yep, in that first apartment, we had those gas canisters that had to be replaced when empty.

I did not know that. So I went out to check it. You know…tip it over, shake it, squeeze the last drops out.

Fearing I just had a leak, I don’t know what I was looking for, but I did so with a lit match!

My friend, that is true doubt standing square in the doorway to true belief.

But alas, love and marriage (in this case…hunger) can make you do some pretty strange things. Besides, it had been a long day and I was really hungry.

Now don’t get the wrong idea here. I am certainly not laying the blame on my stupidity to being married. That was just a case of being young and thinking you’re invincible.

Being married not only opens the door to lots of doubts…but more importantly…it opens many many more doors for true belief between you and your life companion.

Being married, you can do anything!
