If Jesus Christ is your Lord and savior, and you still believe you are a sinner, it's going to make marriage harder because it's a lie and there isn't a shred of Biblical support for it.

Believing lies makes marriage harder.

Like, for instance, that marriage is hard.

When you grok how to build deeply authentic relationships, marriage is fun, peaceful, enjoyable.

When you believe the truth about yourself and marriage, it becomes Heaven on Earth, as is God's will.

I'm thrilled at the resurgance of young men pursuing marriage and/or taking marriage more seriously.

But don't be deceived: marriage is hard. Yes, it is good, and holy, and can come with innumerable blessings. But don't romanticize it (so to speak); when two sinners vow to live their lives in such close proximity, there's nowhere to hide. It takes humility, it takes sacrifice, it takes forgiving and being forgiven.

Go for it--but be ready. There's a reason for the vow--and not the soy-boy, fiat, non-committal "for as long as love shall last" hogwash--it's "until death parts us."
