Our senior Pastor, Olumide Ogunjuyigbe, continues The Purpose of "I Do" series: 
The Purpose of "I Do" Part 2: Dismiss your False Belief (Myths) 

There are beliefs people take into marriage which are myths and very unrealistic. These are some myths surrounding marriage: 
1. Marriage is made in heaven
2. Marriage will make me happy
3. Marriage will complete me
4. My life will improve because I got married
5. Marriage will absorb me from loneliness
6. My spouse  should know what my needs are and meet them
7. having children will make my marriage better
8. Love is all I need
9.Living together is a good idea 
10. Physical appearance does not matter after marriage
11. Communication should be spontaneous 
12. great marriages never have conflicts or problems
Marriage is made on earth, so the fact that you pray does not mean all will be smooth when you marry.  What makes a healthy marriage is two healthy and happy people. Marriage does not complete people but it only compliments.
