What you don't need...

"You can never get enough of what you don't need because what you don't need can't satisfy you."  - Michael Williams, Marriage & Family Therapist.

I've thought a lot about this since Thursday when Brother Williams made this comment in class.  This applies to everything, including money, toys, clothes, vacations, drugs, pornography, candy/desserts, internet, video games, Facebook, etc.  The list goes on and on.  The things you don't need will never be enough to satisfy your cravings for them because they CANNOT satisfy you.  There may be some temporary pleasure involved, but it will never be lasting joy.

In the context of the family, this is one huge reason why people who marry for sexual purposes aren't satisfied; their marriages often don't last because they're built on something that can't satisfy them.  While physical intimacy in marriage is important, that can't be your main reason for marrying.  If so, you're going to really struggle to make your marriage last and be fulfilling.
