Have you bought into society’s low view of marriage? It’s time to turn your thinking around. Read through the following statements from top to bottom, then bottom to top. Which better reflects what you believe? (Personally, I believe this is one instance that backward thinking makes the best sense).

What Society Teaches about Marriage:

(read top to bottom) Modern day marriages don’t last

That is why

You should only look out for #1

It is foolish to think

You can live happily ever after

By giving your all

To build up your man

Take whatever measures are necessary

To maintain your autonomy

Don’t worry about trying

To give 110%

Always remember instead

That marriage is a 50-50 proposition

Don’t think for a minute

Your husband will respond in kind

If you treat him with respect

That’s a lie

Being a submissive wife makes you a doormat

I don’t believe

Marriage is worth the sacrifice What Christianity Teaches about Marriage:
