Today, we're diving deep into how our thought patterns and responses affect our marriages, and more importantly, how God's Word provides us with a transformative blueprint that often looks very different from the world's approach to relationship challenges.

The world tells us that marriage is about personal happiness, that we should prioritize our own needs, and that if things get too difficult, we can simply walk away. We're bombarded with messages that encourage us to "speak our truth" regardless of how it affects others, to prioritize self-care over sacrifice, and to keep score of wrongs.

But God's Word shows us a radically different path. Romans 12:2 tells us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." This verse isn't just spiritual advice—it's a practical foundation for building a strong marriage. Let's explore what this transformation looks like in our daily lives.
