A New Worldview

Marriage joins two households and two backgrounds. You may have grown up in a family that was very open and loving, while your spouse grew up in a home that looked at others by different standards. Merging two conflicting viewpoints means establishing a new way of relating to others.

Often, the way we look at others is personality-related. Some personalities find it easier to love everyone, while others are more closed off. As you learn how to live with each other based on your backgrounds, personalities, and other factors, remember that God’s love within both of you should be the filter through which you view the world.
