Lies That I Am Currently Unlearning
There are so many lies that we hear and come to believe when dating and relationships are involved. Here is what I used to believe:
- It is unlikely that someone would want to date or marry a virgin.
- It’s only women who are virgins and are waiting it out until marriage.
- My standards are too high and that is why I never met someone who could meet them.
- The type of man that I want does not exist so it is best to just settle.
- You need to date around in order to find the one.
- Men after God’s own heart doesn’t exist.
- Waiting it out does not work.
- Everyone is called to marriage.
- The reason why I’m not able to find the right one for me is because there is something wrong with me.
- I need to know exactly what I am doing and how to please my partner in the bedroom on day one.
- I am not making myself available enough to “be found”.
- You are supposed to be married by your mid-20’s.
What I have heard:
- If you did not have an example of what a healthy marriage looks like growing up, chances are, you won’t have a successful marriage.
- Healthy relationships do not last.

I definitely heard about the unsuccessful marriage part. If you come from a broken home, chances are, you will never learn how a successful marriage and family operates.
