Why Marriages Fail
Why Marriages Fail (Article by Dr. Raymond Force on Failing Marriages)
You’ve never seen it, and if you have, I would like to know: A book entitled “How to Have a Passionate Dating Relationship”. Why? Well, although there are a variety of answers for this question, one of the reasons is that dating couples will seemingly go to the end of the world to please one another.
Now, I will be the first to say that most dating couples have a distorted view of true love, and, when most dating couples say “I love you.”, what they really mean is “I love what you do for me.”. Nevertheless, many dating couples, though motivated by self-interest and the newness of the relationship, will use up all of their cell phone minutes on one another, drive four to five hours just to spend two to three hours with their boyfriend or girlfriend, or spend many of their waking hours thinking of ways to impress and win over their new love.
One of the things that I often say to couples is that if they are going to fix their marital issues, they are going to have to do now for loves sake (that is true, Biblical love), what they did before marriage for self’s sake. That is, outside of their relationship with God, their relationship with one another will have to become the number one priority in their life before jobs, careers, children, hobbies, and in-laws. In fact, without this kind of a mindset, marriage just does not work!
