The Mistake
Determining to do marriage alone, without help from others
- Refusing help when it's offered
- Not asking for help when it's needed
- Waiting too long to ask for help that is needed
- Hanging around the wrong people or not hanging around the right people
The Effects
You are more likely to do a lot of stupid things by mistake that hurt the marriage and make things worse.
- You won't realize how ignorant about marriage you really are
- You'll default to do what you know, thinking it is right when it isn't
- People will offer all kinds of advice that may or may not be helpful
- You'll get locked into a cycle of pride, mistakes, damage, and stubbornness
What to Do
Swallow your pride and GET HELP!
- Don't wait until you're in crisis or things are bad
- Connect with a group of people who can both tell you and show you how to relate rightly
- Learn to be open and honest with people who can help you
- ASK for help
- Accept help when offered
- Be open to correction
