We always have this notion that the working conditions and environment of that other company is better than where we are currently working, or that your friend’s car is better than yours or even that that other location is safer than where we are currently living. We are never satisfied with what we have and keep on coveting our neighbor’s things even sometimes their spouse. As they say, the grass always seems to be greener on the other side.
When you pick one path, it's natural to wonder about the others, especially if the path you've chosen gets rocky. In marriage, maybes and what-ifs are most dangerous when your commitment to your marriage is lagging and the person you're thinking of is available and attracted to you. At this point, you have the choice either to dwell on the what-ifs or to put that energy into nurturing your marriage and making it as rich as possible.
What most people don’t realize is that their perception at that time of their spouse is biased. They begin to see only the good things of the person they are attracted to and the negative things about their spouse. And so they dwell on these negatives as they chase the positives on the other side. What they don’t know is that the other person also has negatives and it is only a matter of time that truth will hit them.
It’s like a friend of mine told me the other day, that a cow will go to the fence and start eating the grass on the other side of the fence. But when you take it over to the other side of the fence, it will come to the fence again and start eating the grass from the paddock where it came from. Funny isn’t it.
