coming up soon on the podcast -  TOMORROW QUIT LIVING BY YOUR FEELINGS!

 

Helen let me tell you Why I suck as a salesman… Classic scene from Tommy Boy and yes it is a all time favorite movie of mine… but today I want to tell you why you suck 

as a marriage man…. 

 

Lots of emails, texts, phone calls and conversations… here is what we got so far as to why your marriage sucks.. now a lot of this has to do with why a lot of men just in general have lives that suck… but thats for a later podcast, today lets just stick to marriage and relationships. 

Here are 5 cultural reasons your marriage sucks. 

 

 - 1 No Dad or lack of good parental example… you only know what you know from growing up. 

Prov. 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

 

There are a lot of men and women out there wandering in life and in marriage because they had no training… there was no track record to follow so they wander from relationship to relationship, from mistake to mistake… 

 

 - 2 To quick of expectations… dating was great, marriage will be greater, ecstasy is just around the corner.

The greater it is, the longer it takes. 

You don’t make antiques… but you can take care of things when they are new, and older, and aging and really old.. and they become valuable after much care. 

Your marriage will be amazing… just work at it the next 45 years… its worth it. 

Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” In summary, the Bible teaches us to love others as God loves us and persevere in doing what is good and right, even when difficult.

 

 

 

 - 3  To lazy to put in the work. It is hard freaking, gut busting, back breaking work for most people to have a good marriage let alone a great marriage. There are people out there who are willing to pay the price of blood sweat and tears and financial hardship to build a career or business and it will never bring the satisfaction a great marriage will… but they put nothing into the marriage.
