Legally Married, Mentally And Spiritually Divorced: How To Refresh Tired Relationships (A Lay Cistercian Lectio Divina Series)

Married or not, relationships are like tires, they get old, need air, and sometimes have a blowout. When you form a relationship, there is no 80 year guarantee on your tread. You must check your tread for wear and put the proper amount of air in the tires, or they won't last. If you have a blowout, you might need to replace your tires altogether. You see any parallels between the wear and tear of your automobile tires with your human relationships? This is a book about relation-ships, the key place where you will find meaning in your life. If your relationship is worn, you may need to put air in your tires. It is so important because God is relationship. Not all relationships are spiritual, but you won't discover spirituality until you know the meaning of the words--faith and love. Like old treads, love can wear out, if not refreshed. Relationships also need to be refreshed. Don't you agree? The focus of this book is primarily for those who consider themselves in a legal, binding marriage, but are not happy. You might consider yourself trapped by your vows, the fact that you have children to raise, and your church forbids divorce. These thoughts are my own reflections on what is meaningful in life, so keep that in mind. I encourage you to treat these ideas critically. Another title of this book might be: How to give yourselves a spiritual tune-up. I have written this book in my mind many hundreds of times. My view of relationship is, it takes constant work and maintenance to keep it en-ergized. Spiritual relationship is not possible without God as the mechanic for our automobile. God is the gas, or the energy, that moves us toward our destiny ...Forever. All you have to do is turn on the ignition. Know how?
