Are unhappy marriages a myth?

Woman Alive’s deputy editor, Jemimah Wright, looks at the findings from a new survey from The Marriage Foundation.

When I was single I remember talking to another single friend, who had just met with a Christian counsellor. My friend was talking to the counsellor about her frustration at being single. She was then told something along the lines of, “you should see the amount of Christian couples I counsel in terrible marriages. Marriage isn’t always as it seems, it can be very hard.”

That stuck with me, and later, when I was talking to a counsellor, also about being single, she said; “Jemimah, God will sanctify you through singleness, or through marriage, let him do his work.”
