I Hate My Marriage!

Recently, while on our way to visit our dear friends (married 28 years!) who pastor a church in Michigan, my wife and I came across a huge bill-board sign bearing large white letters on an all-black background that read, "ihatemymarriage.org"!

We couldn't believe it - someone actually had the nerve to declare that on a bill-board just outside of town. Not a "Happy Birthday, Jenny, I love you" sign or a "Loosing sucks, winning doesn't (hockey team) sign or even a Perkins Pancake House advertisement. NO! Someone actually paid for a domain to advertise to the whole world that they hated their marriage.

Insane.

I couldn't wait to get to that sight and blast them with an email expressing my total disgust and give them some verses right out of the Bible paralleling God's relationship to the church with that of marriage. Oneness, leaving, cleaving, forsaking all others, communicating, serving, loving, edifying and more.

Who do they think they are? I hate my marriage! Huh?

I went there and I couldn't believe what I saw. It's too provocative to describe here in a few words. You'll have to see for yourself. Visit www.ihatemymarriage.org and check it out.

Oh, and by the way, the husband pastors a church right there in that community. It's called CrossRoads Church at www.ilovemychurch.org.

Go figure!

Love God - love your marriage - love your church !

Blessings!

You have no idea what happened in that marriage maybe someone was abused maybe children. Do not judge, God is the only one to do that.

I'm sorry that sign put you off. I hate to see people that have a good life and marriage to come across such harsh comments in life. However, i can relate to that comment, I'm a god fearing christian but sometimes it's not always cracked up to what it suppose to be. Lord knows, if he was present in my life my last 22 years wouldn't have been what they are. it's even harder to live in such a relationshp one that causes one to post such a thing. all I can really say, is, Thank God he gave you what you have and he didn't put you throught the life to have to understand what a bad marriage is. I wish i had that...really.

I think that the person's response to the other person's message of "I hate my marraige" says a lot more about the security within their own marriage. Let me explain: I think it stirs up fear that it could happen to them...or to anyone. And guess what? It can and it does. It's when you deny that it can happen is when you're in trouble because you're more likely to put blinders on and deny problems exist.
