Christian Marriage Advice- Should You Keep Your Expectations Low?

By Article Guy On October 19, 2009 Under Marriage Advice

A common complaint from many of the couples we work with is that their married life is so drastically different from their dating life. Boyfriends who used to bring bouquets and open car doors have become husbands who no longer bother, and girlfriends who used to listen have become wives who nag. What you get is a relationship in danger of failing and a lot of unhappy and unfulfilled spouses.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, I urge you to consider getting Christian marriage help. We have even put together a free DVD to help you on your way! Together my husband Joel and I have been able to help over 10,000 couples overcome the problems plaguing their marriages. We would love to help you too.

We tend to accept this sea change in our marriages as a natural progression; we’re told that’s just the way it is. Conventional Christian marriage advice tells us that we are expecting too much out of our marriages and we would do well to just lower our expectations. So often the myth of miserable married life is played up in sitcoms and on movie screens. But this is the wrong way to think about our marriages. You should never, ever lower your expectations for your relationship.

God did not give us the gift of marriage so that we would be unhappy. God never once planned for our marriages to be less wonderful than our dating relationships. God is precisely the same yesterday, today, and forever. He never meant for our marriage to take on a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life of their own. What we present to our partners is what we must continue to live up to throughout our marriage. Joel and I believe that Christian marriage counseling revolves around the fact that God loves us and wants us to love each other through happy marriages. This is why we must remember to honor our vows to love, honor, and cherish our husbands and wives today as we loved, honored, and cherished them before we were married. Through God’s strength and love, we can enjoy a marriage that is exciting and fulfilling for years after it first began.
