Lesson 1: GETTING MARRIED IS NOT THE ANSWER TO FIX ALL PROBLEMS!
See marriage is not about laying out a plan on how you plan to have all your own needs met. It is about self sacrifice! It is about loving your God ordained mate even more than you love yourself! Think about this for a moment. There are many married couples who use their marriage as a status symbol. What do I mean by that? The marriage is used for getting into the supposed right family. The marriage is used, in the minds of some, to fix a broken person. Marriage is used as an escape. Marriage can also be used as a means to hide out in the open! One thing marriage is used for today more than anything else is to provide simple convenience.
Genesis 2:24 states (NKJV), “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” In other words, marriage is not about convenience, strategic planning, fixing people, or promotion! Marriage is about two becoming one! Yes people marriage is sacrifice! One spouse cannot be the master and the other the slave!
So are you really ready to begin breaking the deceptive trappings of how society says your marriage should be? Today’s Great Taboo…Marriage leads and guides you to realizing you may be closer to the marriage of your dreams than you think.

About the Book
Today’s Great Taboo . . . Marriage is written to show married couples just how much society has affected or is trying to affect their marriages. The book answers the “hard” questions husbands and wives are afraid to discuss! Some of these are about having adulterous relationships outside of marriage and calling it normal. Another is about the fact that it is okay for women to seek intimate emotional comfort from another male besides their husband. More than anything, society portrays sanctified marriage as out of date or just plain unimportant. These are only few of the points that will be discussed. So if your marriage falls into these categories or you believe your marriage is not where it needs to be, then Today’s Great Taboo . . . Marriage is for you!
