Spooked by Marriage and Commitment?

When you hear the words “marriage” and “commitment,” how does it make you feel? Perhaps you can relate to these young women: Marriage scares me a little because my parents are divorced, as well as a lot of my family members, so I just really don’t want divorce to be my story as well. My parents have a really bad marriage, and I still see marriage as a gift, but it’s hard for me to believe that I could ever have a marriage that can truly last forever and make it through every trial. (My parents were believers, and they still got divorced.) I can’t even commit to game night. How will I commit to one person forever? What if I struggle with what it be like to date this other guy? I am really excited about marriage, but the divorce stats really scare me because I am worried that I won’t actually end up with the right person…What if I marry the wrong person?? Marriage is serious, and I don’t want a worldly marriage because I can see that the world’s way is clearly not working with how many people get divorced. If you can relate, this is the episode for you! Kim, Leah, and Adrienne will be discussing some insights to help you not be spooked by marriage and commitment anymore.
