Dumb and Dumber
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...
Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*
The Movie: Dumb & Dumber (1994)
There are no dumb questions, just dumb people who have not asked questions.
One of the problems that many marriages and relationships have is they do not ask enough questions. They do not persist until they know. It is often pride that keeps from making inquiry. To pretend to know or think you know and not ask is foolishness.
Questions like; what do you need from me presently or, what do you see that would make our marriage better, are great ones.
Persist until you 'get it' regardless of how dense it may make you appear. Take the risk of being dumb and ask questions, it might be the smartest thing you have done for your relationship.
Questions to Ponder:
- When is the last time I have asked my partner what they really need?
- When is the last time I have entertained the question of what it would take to make the relationship better?
- To what extent do I think that I have all the answers to make our relationship better?
Scripture:
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
