LOVE ❤ CHALLENGES.
ARE YOU AIMING FOR HAPPINESS OR JOY IN YOUR MARRIAGE?
While “happiness” and “joy” are often used interchangeably, they hold subtle differences in meaning.
Happiness is a temporary, external, and situational feeling. It tends to fluctuate based on external circumstances. On the other hand, joy is a deeper, internal emotion rooted in contentment and peace. Joy is more enduring, transcending immediate situations and lasting longer.
If your goal in marriage is happiness, you may find it in fleeting moments, like gaining the upper hand over your spouse, cheating, or having temporary victories. However, if your goal is joy, you may find that it requires submission instead of asserting power, forgiveness even when others call you foolish, and enduring hardship now so that, in the later years of your life, you can look back with fulfillment.
