About this episode

The episode discusses cultural assumptions about marriage and singleness and encourages listeners to question these beliefs.

We inherit ways of thinking without even realizing it. Culture teaches us, often subconsciously, that if you're single, you're incomplete until you find someone. If you're married, your spouse exists primarily to make you happy. If marriage gets hard, you deserve better. If singleness feels lonely, it's because you need romance to be whole. These assumptions run so deep that we rarely question them. __________ Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.
