LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP INTO A MARRIAGE
Like I always echo, marriage is not a short distance or marathon race, for it has no end. Even a marathon race that has an end requires great preparation for any athlete to win. It takes a well prepared athlete to end the race. Some will end the race without any medal but fulfilled, some will pullout half way while some will end it triumphantly. Those who win such race are those who have fore knowledge of the distance and reserve all the required energy to finish well. Such athlete would have understudied most successful marathon runners and learn about what made them successful. Marriage on the other hand is a black market, cosmetised to look beautiful. You do not see through to the other side but you have to be prepared to face the unforseens just like an army going to the battle. To be able to face all the unforseens in marriage, you must be armed with the following:
👉 Fear of God
👉 Loyalty
👉 Patience
👉 Perseverance
👉 Tenacity
👉 Dynamism
👉 Forgiveness
All the above, which would be discussed in full details in my subsequent writeup, play vital roles in marriages according to their order of appearance. So, my advice to my single followers is that; you don't just jump into marriage for the fun of it, because marriage is supposed to be a life time agreement. You need guidance, counselling and mentorship to succeed. The role of 'fear of God in marriage' would be analysed in my next post. Have a wonderful married life.
