Marriage Counseling: Lessons from an Allegory Part 2 of 2

How would the three sons find a solution to their problem wondered Marriage Counseling Bonita Springs FL.  The story concludes as follows:

So the three sons went back to their tents in the desert.  As they sat together and discussed their plight, the conversation became more agitated and shrill toward one another.  Their conflict became more entrenched and hard feelings were developing.  This is to be expected.Suddenly, over their raised voices; they heard a camel approaching their camp.  Looking up, they recognized the rider as one of the wise men of the region, one to whom people would turn with their disputes.  The sons decided to ask the wise man for his advice.  They certainly needed help observed Marriage Counseling Estero FL..

When they had told him about their problem, and the man asked the sons about their needs, he sat and thought. (What would you do in this situation?)

After further discussion, an idea emerged from something one of the sons off-handedly said.  The wise man then declared, “I will give my camel to your father’s estate.  That will give you 18 camels.  (How does that help asked Marriage Counseling Fort Myers FL?  Here is the answer.)  Following your father’s wishes, half shall go to the oldest son: 9 camels. One third shall go to the middle son:  6 camels.  One ninth shall go to the youngest son: 2 camels.  9 plus 6 plus 2 makes 17 camels.  That leaves one camel left over which I would ask that you give back to me.”  The sons were thrilled with this idea.  They not only gave the man back his camel, but loaded it with gifts of appreciation.  This mediator did for them what the law could not do and what they could not do for themselves: make peace.  As he rode off, the brothers were very grateful the help this wise man provided.  They relationship returned to normal and the animosity ceased.
