At Mrs. WOlfe's discussion group on Familiaris COnsortio last Thursday, she said something very interesting.
Earlier on in her marriage she was asking advice or complaining to a priest about her husband's lack of attention, etc. The priests response was that perhaps whatever complaints she had against her husband were actually a mirror image of how she had been treating God lately.
I have never heard that, but it seems to really be true! For example, I complain that R chooses to spend his free time in front of the computer or TV instead of with me, but how much of my "free" time do I spend in prayer or with God? Or do I turn to the computer or projects? Very insightful...
I listed out all of my "grievances" and sure enough, they could ALL be applied quite easily to me and my spiritual life as well.
