More Marriage Myths
- “If he/she really loved me, they would know what I want!”
(Communication is a key ingredient in any relationship.)
- The quality of time we spend together as a family is more important than the quantity of time we spend together as a couple.
(Family time is great, but couple time is needed too. Kids are not the #1 priority in a marriage, the couple is)
- Having a baby will bring us closer together.
(If you can’t get along as a couple, the stresses of raising a child will make things way more difficult)
- Times of crisis make a marriage stronger.
(Crises will occur, but they primarily expose the strength of the marriage)
- My personal happiness is the most important thing in life.
(A Christian needs to remove “I, my & me” from their vocabulary. Following Christ and serving your mate should be your primary concerns.)
Resource Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:5-13
We all need to operate under these principles as husbands and wives (and in so many other relationships). Your motivation to do anything should be rooted in love.
