The False Promise of Happily Ever After :: [Ep. 272]

Join us this week as we debunk the entitlement myth that pervades modern marriages. We are challenging couples to reevaluate their lives through the lens of God's purpose rather than personal paradise. We will explore how cultural expectations and fairytale narratives create dangerous assumptions about what marriage should provide.

We will be talking about the following:

• Marriage wasn't designed to be perfect—it was designed to be purposeful
• God created marriage for dual purposes
• The pursuit of earthly paradise leads to disappointment and destructive behaviors
• Nothing on earth was meant to be permanent or fully satisfying
• Shifting our expectations from spouse-centered to God-centered
• Action steps needed to move forward in the right direction
We hope you are helped and encouraged! Be sure to join us next week for part four of the Powerful Pursuit series: "Why Your Spouse Should Be Your Closest Friend."
