AFFAIRS and social Peace.

I like to quote G. K. Chesterton, since I read him intensely right now, in order to give you an answer. What he wrote is almost hundred years old.

There was hugely more sense in the old people who said that a wife and husband ought to have the same religion than there is in all the contemporary gushing about sister souls and kindred spirits and auras of identical colour. As a matter of fact, the more the sexes are in violent contrast the less likely they are to be in violent collision. The more incompatible their tempers are the better.

Obviously a wife’s soul cannot possibly be a sister soul. It is very seldom so much as a first cousin. There are very few marriages of identical taste and temperament; they are generally unhappy. But to have the same fundamental theory, to think the same thing a virtue, whether you practise or neglect it, to think the same thing a sin, whether you punish or pardon or laugh at it, in the last extremity to call the same thing duty and the same thing disgrace—this really is necessary to a tolerably happy marriage; and it is much better represented by a common religion than it is by affinities and auras.

The new age movement comes to an end, I guess, since it failed in all aspects of life.
More people will become or lean towards Christianity in a more sincere and outgoing way. I guess, one has to lose almost everything before realization sets in that saying nothing and avoiding conflicts does not help.

I like it ... ! A couple is two brains and two hearts.

Avoiding conflicts out of fear is DEADLY , but the way we communicate within those conflicts is KEY...that is where the wife is asked to show strenght and keep a strong ground but also with humbleness accept to see both sides and add softness in the words.
