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.

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!
I hope you'll allow us to journey with you and see God transform your life too! delightyourmarriage.com/cc
