One of the biggest mistakes people make about love and marriage is assuming this:
“If I marry the right person, everything will work out just fine.”
That’s like saying, “If I get a good bicycle, it’ll be easy to ride.”
So when things get tough, they look at other couples and wonder:
“Why can’t my spouse be more like theirs?”
Here’s the truth:
A strong, joy-filled marriage that weathers storms isn’t automatic.
It takes deliberate effort, wisdom, and skill.
Marriage-building is a skill—just like learning to ride a bike.
Yes, having a well-made bike helps… but you still need to learn balance, coordination, and how to keep going when the path gets rough.
And here’s the good news:
Even if your “bike” has some flaws, if you learn the skills well,
you can ride—and thrive—in any marriage.
So I ask you:
How strong are your marriage-building skills?
What are you working on right now to grow them?
Let’s grow in wisdom and love together.
Blessings,
