For better or for worse, all of our ideas about marriage were influenced by something.

Marriage Myths:

If you wish it, it will get better.

Marriage takes work.

Perfect people exist.

No one is perfect.

Your love can make someone better.

People have to want to be better.

Physical affection can sustain us.

Physical affection should be a benefit of a solid relationship, not the reason for one.

1 John 3:18  //  Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

Love is not a feeling, it’s an action.

It’s not enough to say it, you have to show it, too.

John 15:12  //  My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Love is not a feeling, it’s a choice.

Even when I don’t feel love, I choose love.

John 15:13  //  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Ephesians 5:25  //  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Love is not a feeling, it’s a sacrifice.

True love will always require a sacrifice.
