Debunking 5 Myths about Marriage:

Some days I hear great things about marriage. I hear about couples in love, And then there are days–too many to count–when the media spreads a cloak of darkness over the subject. Husbands are mocked, wives are ridiculed, and marriage is slammed. It makes you wonder what young people are thinking when they hear things like, “Marriage"

When you consider that marriage is a union ordained by God, then you know that it’s got to be better than that. And it is. I’m here to confirm that it’s good and to debunk the myths that surround us;

Myth: Marriage Makes People Miserable.

Fact: Whether you’re married or not, insensitive people make us feel miserable. But those who are committed to making their marriage work are also committed to communicating with their spouse and making the other person happy. both of you go out of your way to brighten each others day. you bring home surprises, you call each other from work just to see how your doing, you spend time having fun with each other in the evenings. There’s nothing miserable about that.

Myth: Sex After Marriage is Lousy.

Fact: It’s true that intimacy can be difficult when a couple is busy with new-found responsibilities such as caring for a new baby, BUT there’s nothing like making love to someone who knows what you like and how you like it. When you’ve been with the same person for so many years, you connect on an entirely different level. You know each other more intimately than two people possibly can, and you know how to make your spouse tick.

Myth: After You Say “I Do,” It’s all Downhill from There

Fact: Planning a wedding is hard. The weeks leading up to it are exciting, but they can also be an incredible source of stress. When the decorations are put away and all the guests have gone home, you can finally relax and start enjoying yourselves. That’s when the "real " journey begins. The wedding is merely one gift on a string of many blessings that unfold over the years: that moment you hold your first child, then your second, and your third… the day you purchase your first home together and start picking out furniture… the afternoon your husband comes home to tell you that he got the promotion that you’ve been praying for… making your own family traditions… saving for retirement… becoming grandparents… and the list goes on....

Myth: Only a Few People are Lucky Enough to Stay in Love. Fact: Staying in love has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with commitment. Those who are committed to making their marriage work, put in the required effort.

Myth: In-Laws are the Enemy

Fact: More and more I’ve seen women around me connecting with their mother-in-laws and vice-versa. There’s nothing as sweet as hearing one refer to a young woman as their daughter-in-love. your mother-in-law is a wonderful person. She has given you one of the greatest gifts that a woman can give another by the way she raised your husband. It takes time and patience to blend two families together, but you will always be grateful to have them in your lives.
