Let's start it up and get things out in the open.

If you are married today or you plan on getting married,

raise your hand if you plan on cheating on your spouse.

Raise it up, raise it up, all of our locations,

raise up your hand right now.

Hopefully there's not some poor guy at another campus

not paying attention and raise this hand do not do that i

asked that question because it's pretty obvious almost no one plans to cheat on their spouse right

almost no one plans on getting married and then getting divorced one day. Almost no one hopes for a heartbreak

in relationship. I have done lots of weddings. I've never had someone on their wedding day say,

hey, we're hoping for seven good years. Let's pop out a couple of kids. Then we'll split up and

rotate on the holidays. No one says that. But what have I told you that culture is quietly

preparing you for that outcome? And it's not with neon signs and a pitchfork. The devil is

way too smart for that. Our spiritual enemy, he is subtle and he is sneaky and he attacks marriages

with all sorts of small lies. It's when you go to the movies and the message in the movie

glamorizes casual sex, romanticizes adultery, and calls that love.

It's in the songs on your playlist that glorifies selfishness and call it strength.

It's everything we see on social media that brainwashes you to believe that the highest goal in your life

is your happiness above all else. And it's every message in culture that tells us today that

marriage doesn't matter. You matter most. Put yourself first. Do whatever makes you happy. Do whatever makes you feel good. Have sex as often as you want with whoever you want, however you want, with no strings attached, live together if you want to. Try it out. Share a bed. Share a pet. Share a Netflix account. Play like you're married, but don't actually get married. Keep your

options open. And when things get tough, grab your clothes, grab your toothbrush, go your own way.

Because culture is literally preparing you for divorce.
