It turns out that the happiest of all wives in America are religious conservatives, followed by their progressive counterpartshttps://nyti.ms/2VOILaz
I used to lie to myself about how happy I was too. I wasn’t. But I was taught to find joy in suffering.

You are misinformed. Suffering isn’t viewed as virtuous. Suffering is viewed as inevitable. Suffering with grace is viewed as virtuous. Sorry for your illness.

Okay. I don’t see the connection but that’s cool. Life is a journey of finding how to be authentic to ourselves.

Personally, I hate it when my fellow Christians callously tell you “there’s joy in suffering”. There’s a time and a place for that kind of ministering. Having said that, my prayer for you is that you’ve since found your happiness and haven’t given up on God.

Thank you. I agree. My r/ship w God now (which old church family would call backsliding) feels closer & more authentic. It also sometimes feels more agnostic. But I’m honest w myself & my God about it which I wasn’t able to before. And that feels like peace to me
