Creating a Marriage on the Basis of Assumptions or Truth?

Most marriage disputes start before they even get to the speaking part. They start in the mind: with assumptions, with those silent expectations, with negative stories we tell ourselves.

Renewed marriages start when couples learn how to stop, ask good questions and trade out sinful thoughts for truth. They don’t assume motives, they opt for curiosity. Rather than rehearsing hurt, they opt for grace.

Perfect marriages are nonexistent in a strong marriage. It’s constructed by two individuals who are continually coming back to God, the truth, and love.
