This past weekend Amy and I participated in a marriage conference with Restoration Church. The morning session was led by Dr. Allen and Tina Holmes from Daystar Church in Greensboro, NC. In that session Dr. Holmes shared three marriage myths:
Marriage Myth #1 – Marriage Should Be Easy
Marriage Truth – Relationships Bloom Over Time
Marriage Myth #2 – The Secret to a Perfect Marriage Is Picking The Perfect Spouse
Marriage Truth – You are Imperfect and Your Spouse Is Imperfect
Marriage Myth #3 – My Marriage Has Problems
Marriage Truth – Your Marriage Isn’t the Problem You Are
The answer isn’t to fix my spouse – it’s to fix me // All marriages have problems
We must combat myths with the truth. Sometimes it is helpful to just speak truth over a situation and over ourselves.
A few discussion questions for thought:
1. Has Marriage Been Easier or More Difficult Than You Expected?
2. Have You Ever Been Tempted to Believe You Had a Bad Marriage?
