Your Family Of Origin Will Not Affect Your Marriage

Every week we want to de-mystify a common myth about marriage!

When you think about how you were raised, can you recall memories as if you were reading a book about your life? When you get married all those experiences with the people who raised you, who you spent your childhood with...all of those relationships and experiences are a part of your family of origin story.

This is why it's important you talk about your family of origin before you get married. If you haven't done so, here are a five things you should talk about it to get a better understanding of your spouses story.

1. Shapes the way a person views themselves and others.

2. Helps determine how they will cope and function within your marriage.

3. Influences how a person shows love and demonstrates love.

4. Causes a more intimate connection.

5. Helps identify areas that will require more intentionality on during your marriage.

Needless to say, your family of origin story is a HUGE factor in your marriage. Avoiding talking about it will only cause friction and harm in your marriage.
