CS Lewis believed the best women to spend ones life with had their eyes so firmly on God, the the man had to ask His permission to marry her..
No doubt about it.
I’d not heard that, but in my own experience, it seems very true.
My wife did not marry me until God told her it was good to be with me. 29 years this coming November.
Interesting. That’s the key— a shared life-long goal.
Now, in the secular world, with fickle fads and ignorant sheeple— find me even one worthwhile goal. Maybe a rationalist like Sam Harris (or some uber Libertarians?) can fool themselves for a while.
G-d is the goal.
