Wait! Before You Get Married: 3 Truths No One Talks About


Did you know that nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce? It’s a staggering statistic, and it’s not just a number—it’s a reality that affects millions of lives. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most failed marriages don’t fall apart because of love lost; they crumble under the weight of unmet expectations, poor communication, and lack of shared vision.

If you’re thinking about marriage—or even if you’re already engaged—it’s time to pause. Marriage is one of the biggest decisions of your life, and jumping in without clarity and preparation can lead to heartbreak. The good news? There are proven ways to build a foundation that lasts.


The #1 Cause of Marital Struggles: Lack of Vision

Think of your relationship as a road trip. Without a shared destination, you’re just driving aimlessly. According to research, couples who set mutual goals and maintain open communication are significantly more likely to thrive. Yet, most couples enter marriage with only vague ideas about their future together.

A clear vision isn’t just about avoiding arguments; it’s about building a partnership where both individuals feel seen, valued, and aligned. When you and your partner share a roadmap for your lives, every decision—from finances to family planning—becomes more manageable.


The Science of Writing It Down

Here’s a fascinating fact: Couples who write down their goals are 33% more likely to achieve them. It’s not just about setting intentions; it’s about creating accountability and focus. Writing down your shared vision for marriage helps clarify priorities and reduces misunderstandings.

Some questions to ask and write down together:

  • What are our financial goals for the next five years?

  • How do we envision raising children, if at all?

  • What are our personal dreams, and how can we support each other in achieving them?


Building Milestones Together

Just like in any journey, milestones are essential. These aren’t just checkpoints; they’re moments to celebrate progress and recalibrate when needed. Couples who track milestones together—like paying off debt, buying a home, or achieving personal growth—report higher levels of satisfaction and intimacy.

Milestone tracking also provides an opportunity to reflect on challenges and successes. This strengthens your bond and ensures you’re always growing together instead of drifting apart.


Before You Say “I Do”: The Power of a Shared Vision Tool

Imagine a resource that helps you and your partner align your goals, track progress, and celebrate wins together. A shared vision tool isn’t just practical; it’s transformative. It’s a way to keep your dreams and goals front and center while navigating the complexities of married life.

Why We Fear Innovation: The Critics Who Become the Users

Every great idea has its moment of rejection. Think about it: the printing press, electricity, the automobile, and even the internet—all met with resistance. But here’s the irony. The same voices that once shouted, “This is unnecessary!” often become the loudest advocates once the innovation becomes a staple in everyday life. So why do we fight what could make our lives better? And more importantly, are you unknowingly resisting the very things that could elevate your life? The Pattern of Rejection: History Repeats Itself Take a look back in time, and you’ll see a familiar cycle: The Printing Press (1440): When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, it was seen as a threat by scribes who feared losing their livelihoods. Fast forward a few centuries, and books are a cornerstone of modern education and culture. Electricity (1800s): Early adopters were labeled as reckless and irresponsible. People clung to gas lamps and candles, fearing that electricity was dangerous....

The Case for Early Marriage: Why Modern Culture Is Lying to You About Love, Sex, and Fulfillment

The Lie We've Been Sold "Wait until you're ready." "Travel first, experience life, get drunk, date a lot, build your empire, then settle down." We’ve heard these phrases repeated like gospel. From influencers to schoolteachers, from TV shows to our very own families— delay marriage until you’re older and "ready." But what if this "readiness" is a myth designed to keep you wandering, unsatisfied, and ultimately, alone? What if the truth is that marrying young is actually one of the smartest, most biologically, emotionally, and spiritually sound decisions you could make? What if the "criteria before marriage" ideology is making modern relationships worse , not better? Let’s dissect the lies, present the forgotten truth, expose the risks of modern ideologies, and reveal why the Bible—and biology itself—points to the wisdom of marrying young.

How to Escape the Matrix: The Rat Race You Were Born Into (And Didn’t Even Notice)

  You didn’t choose your life. You were assigned it. From the moment you were born, you’ve been plugged into a system designed to keep you obedient, distracted, and just comfortable enough to never question it. This isn’t science fiction - it’s the modern “Matrix,” and it’s been running your entire life. It’s more than just the “rat race.” It’s a cycle so deeply embedded in society that most people defend it with their lives… without realizing they’re defending their own cage. Let’s break it down - from the day you were born to the day you die - and see the system for what it is. 1. Birth - Welcome to the Program The day you’re born, you’re registered, tracked, and categorized. Your parents - already products of the system - unknowingly start passing down the programming. The toys you’re given? They’re branded, mass-produced, and subtly reinforce what’s “normal.” Your clothes, your environment, even your cartoons are crafted to make you a consumer before you can speak. 2. ...
