The organization was founded by Belah Rose who saw the crisis of marriages everywhere and wanted to ring the bell of HOPE! She heard a speaker admonish the listeners: “Don’t decide what you want to do with your life based on what others think you should, the money, or even ‘the sure thing.’ Instead, answer the question: ‘What is the work that needs to be done?'” For Belah, Delight Your Marriage was the resounding answer to that question.

419-Half Truths Can Destory More than Lies - Delight Your Marriage

The definition of a half-truth is “a statement that conveys only part of the truth, especially one used deliberately in order to deceive someone.”

I don’t know that anyone who says these half-truths is INTENTIONALLY choosing to deceive someone. I’d prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

However, we must look at these beliefs and discern if they are scripturally based.

Certainly, the enemy has deliberately used them to deceive and wreak horrific tragedies in marriages and families.

Unfortunately, half-truths are more slippery and harder to discern than outright (obvious) lies.

Because we see something that somewhat resembles God’s way, but we haven’t given it the time or held it up to scripture to discern if it is actually aligned.

My hope in this episode is to help you discern truth from half-truths.

Here are a few we talked about in this episode:
Duty sex is bad (true… and there are things you should do to change that)
Women should not feel they have to keep their husbands faithful by offering him sex (true… and she has an opportunity to love him well and fill this God-designed desire)
Men should not oppress women (true… and he is designated as the leader of the home)
Everyone fights and it’s normal (true… and the Bible is clear that it is evil)

I hope also you remember as I mentioned in the beginning ANYONE who has spoken these half-truths likely had great intentions.

Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that everyone is trying to help marriages become God’s best… I hope this shines a light on how God Himself designed marriage to be, according to our guide, the Bible.

Let’s have charity and kindness with one another as fellow believers. We are just seeking God’s way above our own.

Love and submission to Jesus,
Belah

PPS – A recent graduate who came first and then because of his changes the wife joined and God did amazing things (!!) wrote this:

“Hi Belah, I am well, thank you!

And thank you so much for EVERYTHING you’ve done for me and my marriage.

Your positive impact on my family will resound for generations.

Truly words don’t do justice to the blessing that you and DYM have been to us. God is good!”

Glory to God for all of it!
