Is The Grass Greener On The Other Side? Look No More!

Okay married folks, the question is, “Is the grass greener on the other side?” I am sure you have heard this statement before. I’m sure this has crossed your mind. Have you ever looked at another couple and said, “I wish my husband could be like her husband or I wish my wife could be more like his wife?” This statement can appear to be true when you are not satisfied in your current marital situation. Before we go any further, let me unpack, what I usually like to call, “the marriage garden.”

I love performing weddings and from the moment the bride enters the room, walks down the aisle, and meets the groom, the entire room is in awe. Why? Because, marriage is a beautiful thing and sometimes I like to think of marriage as a beautiful garden. Almost every marriage starts out as this beautiful marriage garden. The flowers are blooming, the trees are well groomed, the grass is trimmed and ultra-green, and there are butterflies. The love is strong and the glow from the husband and wife is bright.

But, let’s face it, if your marriage is in a storm, then the garden may be in disarray. The beautiful landscape is now uprooted and the grass has turned brown. Communication may be almost non-existent; manipulation may be in full effect and romance has gone cold. When many of these areas are lacking in a marriage garden, problems and issues, up to adultery, can occur. Why? Because the husband and/or wife begins to look for these things in other people’s garden, thinking that the grass is greener in the other garden. Not a good idea!

I have spoken to now divorced couples and research also shows that many couples who went through the process of a divorce said, “I wished we would have worked harder to save our marriage.” You might be reading this now and agreeing. You may be in a new relationship now and agreeing. The reason you may be in agreement is because you initially thought that the grass was greener on the other side. Listen to me, “The grass is greener where you water it.” Couples are amazed when I share this analogy with them.

I am very passionate at equipping couples with the tools necessary to water their marriage garden. The truth of this matter is, the grass is not greener on the other side, but is greenest where you water it.
