As with all things in life there are never any easy answers.
In this instance with the question that ManOfFaith poses
its more an issue with what I've spoken about as to
a moral compass within us.
In each of us (many of us anyways but that's another topic)
there is what is known as a moral compass, the sense of
what's right or wrong. Much of that is based upon how
we learned life's lessons, what we might have been taught
and come to believe, how we evolved as human beings.
In many instances if we feel doubt, something gives us reason
to pause than that moral compass is telling us that perhaps
we need to rethink things. Look at what troubles us with
a closer eye and ask ourselves is this really the path we
want to continue on.
ManOfFaith my suggestion for what it's worth would be to
look to your heart and do what you feel gives you peace
of mind. As difficult as it might be, if outside sources give
you reason to doubt you may be living outside what God
might ask of us than walk away from those sources and
never look back.
In the grand scheme of things our lives in this physical
world is often one of struggle within each of us and
sometimes all too fleeting. All any of us can do is to try
and live our lives as we have been taught and come to
believe is the correct way for each of us.
Enjoy what you share in private with your wife and love
each other. Keep peace within your heart and mind and
live life with the faith you have in God and that which
you share with your wife.
As we all know, nothing in our lives comes easy. It's
all about the road we travel and how we make the journey
that gives us the sum of who we are when our time on
this physical world comes to its conclusion.
ManOfFaith, I sense in you from the words you write;
a good man. Always strive to be that good man and
and follow your faith and your heart.
