Myth 1: “It’s only for couples.”
Not true! The Love Walk is for everyone, regardless of your relationship status. If you’re single, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people or go with someone you’re interested in. While couples, can use this quality time to grow closer and find out how best to meet each other’s needs.
Myth 2: “If I don’t have someone to go with, I can’t go”
Yes, you can still go! Even if you don’t have someone to walk with right now. There will be games and activities designed for singles to meet and connect — you never know who else might be there in the same boat as you.
Myth 3: “It’s only for couples in crisis.”
This is a common misconception. Sure, it’s helpful if you’re going through something — but it’s just as important for couples who are doing well. It’s all about checking in, aligning your goals, and keeping your relationship healthy.
Myth 4: “You need your partner to attend.”
Yes, the Love Walk is meant to be done together with your partner to make the most of the experience and use the time to strengthen your bond.
Myth 5: “You have to walk with someone.”
If you are single, you don’t need a partner to take part. If you come by yourself, you won’t be left out. In fact, many people come alone, and there are activities that create opportunities to meet others in a fun and relaxed way.
Myth 6: “It’s just a walk.”
It’s so much more than that. Successful relationships don’t just happen — they require work. Yes, it’s a walk — but it’s intentional. Life gets busy, and we don’t always find time to truly talk and invest in our relationships, whether that’s with a partner or someone new.
The Love Walk gives you that space, with guided questions and activities to spark meaningful conversations. This is a walk with purpose.
Myth 7: “It’s just for romantic relationships.”
It’s great for romantic relationships, but it goes beyond that. The Love Walk is really about improving communication skills that is valuable in any relationship, not just romantic ones.

If you don’t find someone, that’s perfectly fine. The experience will help you learn more about yourself and can show you more clearly what you want. You also get the chance to meet new people and step out of your comfort zone. Even if it doesn’t lead to love just yet, you’ve planted a seed and made a meaningful investment in love.
Myth 9: “Will there be anyone there my age?”
Singles will wear age badges that indicate their age category, so you’ll easily know who’s in your age group.
Myth 10: “I’m prioritising my spiritual life, so I can’t go.”
While you may be prioritising your spiritual life, that doesn’t mean you can’t also invest in your love life. The games and activities designed for singles can offer valuable insights about yourself and help you identify areas for personal growth.
Myths about relationships
“God will bring me the right person at the right time”
God has taught us to seek: “He who finds a wife finds a good thing….” (Proverbs 18:22).Only those who seek will find. This means no one will be brought to you — you have to be proactive, and the Love Walk is the perfect opportunity for this.
“It’s better to be alone than in bad company”
This myth presents two options: you’re alone or you’re in bad company. But how about a third option: being in good company? Because of this myth, many people avoid relationships out of fear. Don’t let it hold you back from meeting someone who can bring value to your life.
“The good ones are already taken”
This is a myth that circulates among singles who have lost hope of finding love. It claims that there aren’t many singles left and that those considered a ‘good catch’ for marriage are already married. But in reality, there are more unmarried people than married ones. In 2022, over 28.9 million people in England and Wales were single, compared with 24 million who were married according to statista.com
In other words, there are more people available for a relationship than not. Do you really think that none of these people are suitable for marriage?
“You have to feel attraction for the other person, you need to have chemistry”
Physical beauty changes over time, so a relationship cannot be based on that alone. Instead, it should be built on qualities that enhance a person’s character, as these are what maintain their attractiveness.
