If you insist on ordering a sugar-free soy latte at a steakhouse, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Yet many marriages fail because spouses were expecting something from their marriage that marriage was never intended to give them.

In this session we uncover five very common marriage misconceptions. Expectations people set for their marriage and then become embittered over or divorce over… or both. If you can address these myths now you’ll be way down the road to a healthier, happier marriage when the time comes.

Setting the wrong expectations can kill your marriage before it begins, but the right expectations can set your marriage up for tremendous success. What are the right expectations for marriage? Well, they’re not his expectations and they’re not her expectations. They’re God’s expectations.

In this session, we reveal the three expectations God has for us in all of our relationships; three principles that have revolutionized our own relationships with family, friends, strangers, our children… and especially each other.

Of course, that third answer is supposed to be God, but many people (even Christians) look to almost anything else to hold their marriage together. In this session we address the reasons why that is and we highlight the importance of building your trust in God before moving forward in the trust-relationship of marriage.

Most people come from home environments they want to improve upon and even those who idolize their parents often don’t have the foggiest idea what made their parent’s marriage successful. Some enter marriage with very defined marital rolls. Others just think it’s all going to work out in the end.

In this session, we try to take some of the mystery out of what makes a marriage work. We highlight the beauty of the equally valuable and entirely unique needs and rolls of husband and wife. We don't try to defend a specific family model, but instead uphold clearly defined Biblical truths.
