Fighting lies with truth

Lie #1:

When I finally meet “the right person,” everything will work out fine.

The truth:

Marrying the right person is CRUCIAL, but even with the greatest mate, a successful marriage requires following GOD’S DESIGN, putting in the hard work, persevering through difficulties, and relying on the Holy Spirit.

Key verse:

Hebrews 10:36

Lie #2:

When I experience disappointment, annoyance, and anger toward my spouse, that means I’m “falling out of love” and I may have married the wrong person.

The truth:

CONFLICT and NEGATIVE emotions are not only normal, they are essential to learning to COMMUNICATE and forgive each other in the process of becoming one.

Key verse:

Ephesians 4:32

Don’t buy the LIES. Do it GOD’S WAY.
