Follow the path.



Christmas was a very nice day for me and I could have not been any happier. My wife and I enjoyed a pot of coffee and chatted the morning away. I received a phone call from a friend and he told me that his marriage was on the rocks for sure. I told him I think you are making more out of a disagreement than it really is. We chatted for a while and he was telling me his story it took me back to when he was telling me about how he had all of the things in his house networked and he could monitor everything. He had put his movies and music on a entertainment server so any one in the family had access to his movies and songs. When he was telling me about this I was thinking that would never work in my house. Judy and I both have computers but were I can use one she is more like a babe in the woods. As my friends story went on his wife was wanting to play some music for Christmas but she could not get anything to work. She told him she was up set about this and wanted him to fix it for her. He got defensive and told her there is nothing to fix you have to learn how to use the network. Again she told him just fix it so I can use it. Then it kept on going all day long and into the next day they would argue about anything and everything. Then my friend goes into telling me how all they every do is fight about every thing and they can do nothing together with out a argument. As we all know there is two sides to every story and I didn't have a opportunity to talk to his wife but I don't think she is all that much different than most woman that like to keep things easy. My wife has told me so many times to do anything on the computer if it takes more than 3 steps I am lost. There is so much more to all of this it is not funny. He was telling me that his wife was using a computer that he built for her back in 1998. I told him you have to be kidding. I never kept anything that long for me or my wife. Computing changes fast and back then it was changing real fast and a 14 year old computer is trash. Two weeks ago that hunk of junk died when she was trying to use it for her new Galaxy phone. So he got busy and built her a new system and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. The reason she never had any network issues before was she didn't use the network her computer was junk and she could care less. Now she has a nice new super fast system she wanted to take it out for a test ride and found out her husband had a network she didn't even understand. So now we are back to today and she is upset and he is upset and he wants me to tell him ya get a divorce. I told him just the opposite. What has happened over the years is you drifted apart you were into your world doing your thing, she was in her world doing her thing now your worlds meet in the land of  technology and disaster follows.
 I was thinking this was not something that just happened it was something that developed over time. The bible tells man and woman how to love one another and it is about as basic as you can get. The woman is told to submit to her husband and the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. When you love each other in this fashion you will just grow closer in every way and in  all things. When you don't do this you just drift apart over time like you are going down two different paths.
