Myth #3 - Marriage is a Life Preserver
Another myth many people believe about marriage is that it will heal their broken heart and fix
everything wrong with them. Their faulting thinking is that, "If I can find a mate, I will feel better
about myself and everything will go right in my life." WRONG!
Anyone has emotional baggage and thinks that marriage will solve their problems is heading for a
huge disaster, or the very least, a tough time. If you put together two people with emotional
baggage, you will spend a lot of time trying to fix everything that is broken in your marriage instead
of ENJOYING YOURSELF!
You can’t build a life long “days of heaven on earth” marriage on a foundation of emotional
baggage and brokenness. A mate cannot heal broken, messed-up hearts. That job belongs to
God.
If you are hurting, overwhelmed with feelings of inferiority, and fears of being abandoned, don't
cling to a boyfriend or husband. Get into your Bible and build up your personal relationship with
God. He will be the best companion you could ever have. And He will even show you how to help
turn your marriage into an amazing relationship, too.
I’ll leave you with this scripture. If you will turn your hurts over to God, and obey what the Word of
God tells you to do, He will not only mend you, He will turn your marriage into days of heaven on
earth.
Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (paraphrased):
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and keep that Word
before your eyes, teach the Word to your children, speak the Word when you sit, walk, lay down,
get up, write them down so that your days may be multiplied and as the days of heaven upon the
earth.
Who wouldn’t want that kind of marriage?
