On Sunday I stumbled in to my normal Sunday school class about 5 minutes late.  I scanned the room to find my wife so I could sit next to her but she was nowhere to be found.  After ten seconds of thought it hit me.  O no I’m in the wrong class!  My wife and I decided to start the marriage class and she was in there without me.  So I rush down the hall to find my wife and there she was all by herself …oops.  Well I got there to hear a great testimony of how God had restored a broken marriage.  My wife and I both agree you can always improve your marriage.  So we are looking forward to this class and the interaction with other couples……… here is the handout from the first class.

Ten Myths of Marriage

1.    Marriage means living happily ever after, just like in the fairy tales
2.    Marriage means your spouse can read your mind
3.    Marriage is for my happiness- it is all about me
4.    Marriage could only work if my spouse would change
5.    Marriage will get better and easier with children
6.    Marriage roles are viewed the same by both husband and wife
7.    Marriage is easy when you marry the right person
8.    Marriage is held together by love
9.    Marriage makes you whole or complete
10.  Marriage could survive without God

True love is sacrificial, focused on giving not getting.  Love is a decision, not a feeling. It is selfless.

These make for great conversation.  What myths could be added?
