The Selfish in Marriage

I don’t have much to add to this other than context. This is sort of a response to some therapy I was in. We had a discussion on personalizing principles and how, even if the answer is right, if the answer isn’t personal, it isn’t helpful. I thought a little about how to meet my own needs — and how to get what I needed, I had to be a certain way. But in order to be that way, I had to have my needs met. Where do you start? This also is influenced by both my father and my father-in-law talking about the first sentence — that the gospel is at it’s core selfish. We live it because it makes us happy.
