Being a single person I only have the privilege of learning about marriage from others and I have to say that on a regular basis I hear more negative than positive. I believe so much in marriage and the Bible speaks so highly of it that I don’t think that it is the ACTUAL case but I just want to point out that MOST couples forget to talk about the good thinks in marriage. About why they love being married and how amazing their relationship with their spouse is.
When you talk to your average person that doesn’t know the Lord and even some that do, especially men it seems, they look at marriage as some form of death to their FUN life. I believe that this is directly related to the fact that most people forget to talk about the joys of marriage. I personally have six siblings that are married and I know that they overall have great marriages and wouldn’t ever take back getting married if they had a choice but honestly I could probably count the amount of times they've shared positive things about being married.
I think that we as believers of marriage need to shift this view. Lets stop focusing on only the negative and remember to paint an accurate picture of marriage for the sake of us singles that are taking you at your word and are now REALLY scared of making the mistake of choosing the wrong person to marry. Or decide it’s just too scary to get married at all.
So all you married folk out there please share the good stuff too! We singles WANT to hear it! J
