******************

As promised...here are some thought-provoking discussion questions to help you reflect and consider a biblical perspective on marriage:

1. What experiences or influences (movies, family, personal relationships) shaped your beliefs about love and marriage?
2. Have you ever seen a couple who disproved one of these myths? What made their relationship work?
3. How does your view of love and relationships align with what the Bible teaches?

Opposites Attract – The Myth of Excitement

1. Can two people with completely different values and life goals truly have a healthy, lasting marriage? Why or why not?
2. Have you ever been in a relationship where differences initially felt exciting but later caused conflict? What happened?
3. What qualities are more important in a spouse: compatibility or chemistry? Why?
4. How does Amos 3:3 ("Can two walk together unless they are agreed?") challenge or confirm your beliefs about opposites attracting?
5. Instead of focusing on differences, what should couples prioritize in a relationship for long-term success?

Soulmates Exist – The Myth of ‘The One’

1. Do you believe God created only one perfect match for each person? Why or why not?
2. If there’s only one soulmate for everyone, what happens if someone marries the ‘wrong’ person? Does that mean their marriage is doomed?
3. How does believing in soulmates affect the way people handle conflict in relationships?
4. What does the Bible say about love being a choice rather than a predestined fate? (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Ephesians 5:25)
5. How can a couple build a strong marriage rather than just hope to ‘find’ the perfect one?

Love at First Sight – The Myth of Instant Connection

1. What is the difference between attraction and love? Can they happen at the same time?
2. Have you or someone you know ever fallen for someone quickly, only to realize later they weren’t the right person? What did you learn?
3. If love is based on emotions and chemistry alone, what happens when those feelings fade?
