a terrible example for your kids, and not glorifying to God. God does not want you to live together without passion. That’s why he put the Song of Solomon in the Bible. Secular culture is, however, tragically and completely wrong in two other areas of the above myth.
First, God says passion can be brought back into every marriage. Not infatuation-initial passion—but deep passion. The Song of Solomon delivers this message: “If you put God at the center of your marriage and follow his Passion Principles, you will be rewarded with a heart-thumping, fantastic, passionate love that will last as long as you both shall live.”
Second, God says that the marriage bond is sacred, and getting a divorce because of loss of passion is not acceptable. In fact, it will do great damage to you and all those close to you. God wants you to stay married and, by obeying his teaching in the Song, experience deep passion.
Myth #2: Passion Can’t Last in a Marriage, but Stay with Your Spouse Anyway (Christian)
You will lose your passion before you reach your twentieth wedding anniversary. In fact, probably a lot sooner than that. But this is perfectly normal and no cause for alarm. Don’t panic. Those wonderful, early years of passion are a phase that all couples experience. Your passion gradually leaves and is replaced by a more mature, mellow, and committed love. You know, the kind your great-grandparents have. So, when your passion ends, don’t think that there’s something wrong with your marriage. Everything’s just fine! Your marriage is like a baseball glove that is broken in with use. Or, like a well-worn saddle. God wants you to stay with your spouse and live out your golden years in calmness and peace.
No, it’s not too exciting. Yes, the thrill is gone. But that’s what marriage is, and you just better get used to it.
Truth: You and your current spouse can experience passion ’til death parts you
It’s true that you will lose your initial passion. It’s not true that you can’t get passion back. By inviting God into your marriage and following his Passion Principles, your passion will come roaring back to stay. True passion is not a phase of marriage. It is designed by God to be a permanent part of marriage.
It’s true that God wants you to stay married. But he certainly does not want you to be in a passion-less marriage. That is not what he has in mind for you. God wants you to feel madly in love, to enjoy exciting sex, and to remain romantic lovers all the way to when you part in death. So—as a matter of fact— your great-grandparents can have this kind of passion.
Myth #3: You Don’t Need Passion for a Good Marriage (Christian)
The crazy-in-love passion you feel at the beginning of a romantic relationship is exhilarating, but immature. It burns brightly for a while and then fades. It’s good that it fades, because your two hearts simply couldn’t stand all that excitement for very long. It’s much better to settle down into a solid, stable, comfortable, and responsible love. Love isn’t a feeling. It’s a rational choice of the will. God isn’t concerned about you being happy in your marriage. He just wants you to stay married. Nothing bad will happen if you don’t have passion. Your marriage will be routine. Maybe even boring. So what? Your job is to hang in there until one of you dies (of natural causes).
Marriage isn’t some kind of never-ending love fest filled with romantic, gushing frivolity. Marriage is serious business. Passion has nothing to do with a good marriage. A good marriage is two persons who choose to stay together no matter how bad and painful the relationship becomes.
Truth: You do need passion for an intimate marriage
Without passion, your marriage will be way below average. Without passion, your marriage has a zero chance to be great. Intimacy cannot exist without passion, and passion is why you’re married! A lack of passion can lead to several bad things. The first bad
