Whether you are standing for a marriage to be restored or living with your spouse, it is essential never to stop asking God to change you as an individual and as a couple so you can be more like Jesus in every season.

One way to change is to stop believing the lies of marriage myths. Some of these myths may have even played a role in the breakdown of your marriage. We’ve all likely heard comments like “happy couples do everything together” or “children should come first.” While many believe these examples to be sound relationship advice, these myths actually do more harm than good.

Our guest, Julie Baumgardner shares common marriage myths and how to debunk them.
