Me Tarzan, Me Comparing: When Grass Looks Greener
Me Tarzan, Me Comparing: When Grass Looks Greener (Tarzan & Jane Series: Part 9 of 16)
Me Tarzan, Me Comparing: When Grass Looks Greener
Comparison is the quiet thief of joy.
Jane noticed Tarzan looking elsewhere—not necessarily in action, but in attention. Other women on screens. Other marriages that seemed “easier.” Even old memories of Jane in earlier years.
To Tarzan, it might have seemed harmless. To Jane, it felt like loss. Because comparison doesn’t inspire—it corrodes.
When a spouse looks outside the marriage—at others, at fantasies, at “what used to be”—they stop seeing the gift right in front of them. And the heart left behind begins to ache: Am I not enough?
Reflection / Takeaway:
Comparison steals joy, focus, and intimacy. The grass isn’t greener elsewhere—it’s greener where you water it.
Call-to-Action:
🌿 Stop looking out there. Look at the one right in front of you. Love grows where you choose to invest.
Jungle Laugh:
“Tarzan thought the grass was greener on the other side… until Jane changed the WiFi password!” 🌱😂
