That's not what I said.
Maybe you need to rethink what you're wishing for.
Maybe you ought to stop lying about what I wished for.
Let’s look at this hypothetical scenario:
There is a married couple, the Smiths, and to all outward appearances they have the ideal marriage — they have a nice home, wonderful children, they are well-respected in their community and are active in their church.
However, their private life is very different. They are both verbally and physically abusive to each other and their children. The man drinks all the time and the wife is addicted to precription drugs. They are nearing financial bankruptcy. They are both unfaithful in their marriage.
So, let’s assume that a young woman who is a member of the same church as the Smiths has just become engaged and she and her fiance are attending pre-marriage sessions with their pastor. The pastor asks what she is looking for in a marriage and she proceeds to say that she wants a nice home, a strong marriage, a loving spouse and children and a strong relationship with God. She concludes by saying, “I want a marriage just like the Smiths have.”
So, my question is this, is this young woman hoping for the hellish marriage the Smiths have or is she hoping for what she THINKS it is?
