Twelve seemingly harmless beliefs about marriage could be quietly sabotaging your relationship. From the myth that "marriage solves relationship problems" (it actually magnifies them) to the belief that "successful couples never argue" (healthy disagreement can strengthen your bond), we're dismantling the misconceptions that set couples up for disappointment and frustration.

When Daniel and Michelle share their personal battle with "the look" that triggers old memories of conflict, we realize how even strong marriages face challenges. Their honesty sets the stage for an eye-opening discussion about what really makes relationships thrive. Each myth they tackle reveals something exceptional about God's design for marriage.

Does having different interests mean you're incompatible? Must you always feel butterflies to be truly in love? Will children automatically strengthen your relationship? We address these questions with biblical truth and lived experience, offering a refreshing counterpoint to culture's romanticized portrayals of marriage.

Perhaps most powerfully, they remind us that marriage isn't primarily about happiness but holiness—a covenant where God shapes us through one another. When we replace fairytale expectations with faithful commitment, we discover a deeper joy than fleeting feelings could ever provide. The candid conversation provides practical wisdom for every relationship stage, from dating to decades of marriage.

Whether you're newly married, navigating a rough patch, or simply seeking to strengthen your relationship, this episode offers the truth you need. A successful marriage isn't built on myths or cultural assumptions—it's built on faith, intentional effort, and two people who keep showing up with open hearts before God and each other. When He's at the center, no challenge is too great to overcome together.
