TOPIC: WHEN THE WIFE WAS ASKED A QUESTION…
BASIC SCRIPTURE: EXODUS 20: 1-18
Years ago at a marriage conference, a wife was asked if her husband made her happy! Of course the husband stood by her with smiles and confidence from knowing what her answer would be!

I am happy. Whether I am happy or not is not dependent on him, but on me. I am the only person on whom my happiness depends. I choose to be happy in every situation and every moment of my life, for if my happiness depended on another person, thing or circumstance on the face of the earth, I would be in serious trouble. Everything that exists in this life constantly changes: the human being, the riches, my body, the climate, my boss, the pleasures, the friends, and my physical and mental health.
I could quote an endless list. I need to decide to be happy regardless of anything else that happens. Whether I own a lot or a little, I am happy! Whether I’m going out or staying at home alone, I’m happy! Whether I am rich or poor, I am happy! I am married but I was already happy when I was single! I’m happy for myself. Other things, people, moments or situations are experiences that might cause joy or sadness. For example, when someone I love dies, I am a happy person in an inevitable moment of sadness.
