“What are you here for?”

Gary and Jennifer were having problems. A discovered affair now has their marriage in a precarious place. Over the years they drifted apart and now they were face to face with their worst fears. in response, they decided to see a counselor. After the initial introductions, the counselor posed the question “What are you here for?”.  In response, they told the counselor to ‘work on the marriage’. The counselor sat back and posed the question again with persistence. This time, the counselor added, “Are you here for marriage counseling or divorce counseling?”. As the reality of the question sank in, they sat there like deer in the headlights. They had never really thought this one through. The questioned stunned them into considering what they were actually asking the counselor to do with them. They wanted out of the pain, but had never considered about life after the pain. They were now faced with having to be honest with themselves about “What are you here for?” and it scared them.

You may want to consider the question even now. Once you decide what you are ‘here’ for, then you need to consider are you willing to do what it takes?
