"期望丈夫成为只有耶稣基督自己才能成为的东西的女人是愚蠢的"
— Ruth Graham
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is about not expecting your partner to be perfect or fulfill all your emotional and spiritual needs. It is saying that no person can give you everything you need because humans are imperfect. For example, imagine if you expected your friend to make you happy all the time. It's impossible because even your friend has bad days and limitations. Similarly, expecting your husband to be the source of all your comfort and happiness will only lead to disappointment because he can't always meet such high expectations. The advice here is to understand that some needs, especially those that are very deep, can't be met by another person. Instead, seek a more divine or spiritual fulfillment, like many find in their religious faith, to complete these aspects. By doing this, you allow your relationships to be more realistic and healthier, with less pressure on the other person.
