So many couples we talk to are often “stuck” or “crippled” in their marriage relationship because of some things they believe about marriage that are just NOT TRUE. We can hear these lies and start to believe them -- OR sometimes, based on our life experiences, we come to the wrong conclusions about things and move forward believing these lies, without ever thinking they are actually leading you down a wrong path. So on today's episode we want to talk about some of these LIES that you and your spouse may be believing about marriage -- and why those lies can cripple, or eventually kill your marriage. And, of course, while talking about these lies, we will also discuss the truth that we need to believe and start living out in place of the lie. So take a few minutes to listen in. And as always, thanks for joining us on this journey of marriage!

Episode/Show Notes:Romans 15:7 : Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Quote from Timothy Diehl: “Marriage is an invitation to give yourself to someone who will, at times, be your best friend, and at other times, be something akin to an enemy. Marriage is not an invitation to fulfillment, but an invitation to transformation as we learn what it really means to love….A good marriage comes not from the right people finding each other, but from two people committed to loving each other as they are, not as they wish they were”.
