Five Lies the World Tells You About Marriage

Okay, let’s face it. You have spent your teenage dating and finding the best person to marry. You have always imagined him and owed him. Now, finally, you met him. You are like a Disney Princess and he’s your Prince Charming. You are going to marry him. But wait, are you prepared for your life after marriage? Have you considered living with him before?

Of course, marriage is the greatest gift you can ever get but often the greatest gifts are not always cherished the way they should be. You have always seen perfect life after marriage in the films and TV serials, but the reality is always not the same. Every marriage faces crisis and in the meantime, the world would guide you with the different lies to break your marriage. But we don’t have to let them win.

So below, we have listed some pretty obvious lies that the world would tell you about marriage and the truth about them. Check them out and save your marriage!

#1: “If you’re not compatible, you may have married the wrong person.”

Wrong. God made you in pairs and if you are married, you have the right person. Although they might be not compatible with you, marriage makes them the right one. Because of timely crisis, you will hear that your partner is not the right one, but this doesn’t make sense as marriage is a covenant relation.

#2: “Divorce is always an easy option.”

If you married to a person thinking that a divorce is an easy option, then you are already in trouble. Divorce is not an easy option, remember that. Every marriage has to face crisis and in that situation, you will start looking for a fast way out and that is not the thing that your marriage wants.

#3: “Once trust is broken, it can never be restored.”

Chances are that you might get into the difficult seasons of your marriage. And if you believe in the thing that “once the trust is broken, it can never be restored”, then your marriage is in trouble. You should have faith in your God that the One who can bring life into the dead can give you the power for a fresh and a healthy beginning as well.

#4: “Your kids should be your priority.”

This is a subtle lie of our culture that needs to be corrected for the sake of our married lives. The truth is what your kids need is a healthy and happy relation between you two (their parents) and you should give priority to him, who is a leader of your family. This is often hard to live out but is definitely worth it.

#5: “You deserve more.”

For our society, marriage is all about giving happiness to the lady and not to the man. However, both man and woman have their rights, but, our focus is one-sided – our side. However, the truest picture of the happy married life is making each other happy instead of ourselves and this will definitely make your marriage work.

Marriage is definitely hard and takes each person’s 100 percent in their marriage. If you find that your marriage is in crisis, don’t believe these lies that the world would tell you. Just have faith in God and let Him be your guide.
