Christian Marriage Advice-Should You Keep Low Expectations?

A common complaint from many of the couples we work with is that their married life is so radically different from when they were dating. 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 this sounds like what’s going on in your relationship, I urge you to consider getting Christian marriage help. We have even put together a free DVD to help you! 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 natural; 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. Often the myth of married life as miserable is played up in sitcoms and on movie screens. But this is the wrong way to think about marriage. You must never, ever lower your expectations for your relationship.

God did not give us the gift of matrimony so that we would be constantly unhappy. God never once planned for our dating years to be wonderful and our married years to be miserable. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He never meant for our marriage to take on a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life of its 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 should revolve around the fact that God loves us and wants us to love each other through happy marriages. This is why we need to remember to honor our vows today as we did on the day we were married. Using the strength and love of God as our guide, we can enjoy a relationship that is exciting and fulfilling for years after it began.
