"50% of marriages end in divorce. Monogamy is patriarchy. Everyone ends up leaving you anyways. What’s the point?” Have you had thoughts like this about relationships? These are just a few of the lies many of us believe today which have doomed many of our relationships before they’ve even started. But, when we live in a post-Christian, naturalist, nihilistic world, should we really be surprised? And, when one of the most common reasons cited for depression in the U.S. is due to relationship issues, should we really be surprised that, as of May 2023, Gallup has reported that now more than 25% of adults in the U.S. are depressed? So, how does what we believe impact our relationships and how can we correct this downward spiral?

What do you believe? About God? About life? About your place in the world? About your relationships and your future? It is imperative to know what your core beliefs are if you want to understand why you make the decisions you make. But what happens in our hearts and minds when what we believe seems to be in constant conflict with what we do? In these seasons, it can feel like the ground is splitting right between your feet and pulling away in either direction. You have one foot planted on either side, but the chasm is getting wider and wider, and you need to make a choice on either end or fall into the abyss. You believe that one side leads to safety and the other side leads to destruction, so the choice should be simple, but then why are you still paralyzed with fear and unable to make a decision? Why do so many wait so long that they end up falling into the pit rather than choosing a side? When what we believe conflicts with reality, it can produce in us feelings of stress, anxiety and discomfort which we then will try to justify to keep our world making sense. The psychological term for this is known as cognitive dissonance and I believe this is a huge factor at the heart of many of our anxieties today. Stick around to find out why and what you need to overcome it in your lives.

Do you really know who you are? How you perceive yourself directly influences and quite literally determines how you will interact with others. So, are your relationship problems all your fault?
