5 People Whose Marriage Advice You Need to Stop Listening To

As a marriage blogger, I know there’s lots of marriage advice out there. Lots. While there is a lot of good advice out there, all of it isn’t sage wisdom. Here’s my top five list of people we tend to turn to when seeking advice that you may want to consider getting out of your ear.
Celebs
This might sound a little strange coming from me. After all, one of the hats that I put on sometimes is that of celebrity marriage blogger. I think celebs are as entertaining as the next person and rank celebrity gossip as one of my guilty pleasures. But just because celebs are really good at some things doesn’t mean they’re good at everything. Beyonce and Jay-Z might be a musical force together, but they probably don’t know more about making it work than your grandma, so you’re probably better off listening to her.

Mr. and Mrs. Perfect
You know that couple. The ones that wake up on the clouds and sleep on a bed of roses and are as sweet as pancake syrup. They’ve never had a problem, have never spoken an unkind word to one another, and they want everyone else in the world to know it. While being happily married is a wonderful and beautiful thing, no marriage is perfect, and comparing your own marriage to the “perfect” one can make you doubt your own success. I’m suspicious of anyone that’s never had a challenge. Marriage is a little like a good cardio workout; if it’s never challenging, chances are you’re not doing it right.
The Bitter One
Maybe she’s just gone through a divorce. Maybe her marriage isn’t all she thought it was cracked up to be. Maybe she just never quite found “The One” and isn’t happy about it. For whatever reason, she has a bad taste in her mouth when it comes to relationships and can’t wait to share that bitter recipe. Even if your buddy has a good reason to be upset, always hearing “men ain’t ish” and “kick him to the curb” isn’t that helpful if you’re trying to make your marriage work.
The Club Hopper
There’s nothing wrong with partying with your spouse if that’s what suits your fancy. But the friend whose always in the streets and whose goal it is to get you right there in the bar next to them all the time isn’t doing much good for your marriage if he’s not telling you to take care of home. And contrary to popular belief this person isn’t always single. If he’s got a wife and kids at home and somehow manages to be in the club nightly, you may want to rethink how much time you’re spending together.
Church Folks
Yeah I said it. Now, please don’t mistake this and me saying that there are not people at your church that you can turn to for marriage advice. I’m just saying that you cannot turn to everybody at your church for marriage advice. Sometimes the tendency is to think that because a couple is in a church that they must be kicking some knowledge. This may be true some of the time, but you need to be discerning about who you let into your marriage at church just like you have to be discerning outside of it.
