Marriage Prep

As newlyweds, it is essential to understand that marriage is not always a bed of roses, and there will be challenges along the way. Certain character traits can lead to the breakdown of a marriage. In this article, we will explore five character traits that can lead to divorce and provide marriage advice for newlyweds to avoid these pitfalls. Pride, lying, silence, argumentativeness, and manipulation can all erode the foundation of a marriage.

The best biblical marriage advice I ever heard was to prioritize unity and merging worldviews. In Mark 10:8, Jesus said, “and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.” This means that when you get married, you and your spouse become one entity, and it’s important to work towards unity in all areas of life, including your worldview. By listening to one another’s perspectives and striving to find common ground, you can create a strong, unified foundation for your marriage that will help you weather any storm.
