Here&#8217;s his simple logic: We married (if we are married) a broken person, right? We ourselves are shattered and broken, right? And we live among other broken people in a broken-down world, right? So, Tripp muses: What should we expect in our marriage?<\/p><p>We irrationally (yet wholeheartedly!) expect marriage to be endless days of smiles and romantic bliss. Whoever coined the expression \u201cexpectations are premeditated resentments\u201d is a genius. If a professor expects a marriage to be full of perpetual smiles and romantic bliss, when he or she faces the pressure of getting tenure while often soothing a colicky infant, there is a catastrophic collision of expectations.<\/p><p>Tripp\u2019s wisdom is very helpful: we live out our married lives (and single lives) in the context of a broken world, and we should expect unmet expectations and difficulties. We are &#8220;not yet&#8221; experiencing the coming restoration of all things.<\/p><div><br><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c1101ee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c1101ee\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6320e79\" data-id=\"6320e79\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24f5f50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24f5f50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The university is no different<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-80e3e2e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"80e3e2e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-78b2ef7\" data-id=\"78b2ef7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14f597d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14f597d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One day, in a small group at Duke University I asked the question \u201cIf you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?\u201d The group grew reflectively sober as they mentioned the hard journey of unmet expectations both personally and professionally.\u00a0 Don\u2019t ask this question, to students or professors, unless you expect to be sobered by the pain-filled answers.\u00a0<\/p><p>What do we expect on this side of the fall?

And the unhappy fact is that at present (and in our part of the world) it is the latter two that are in the ascendancy. Christian theism has perhaps made some small steps back in recent years; but it is surely the minority opinion among our colleagues in Western universities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>Our lives, both personal and academic, are lived out in a very real struggle.
