Don't be afraid of marriage. Don't even be deterred by the sad marital experiences you have read or seen. Yours can be different, believe me.
Basically, all you need to succeed maritally are:1. A good personality
2. The right mindset
3. The right knowledge
4. The ability and readiness to adhere to the marriage laws as taught in God's word.
These are the basics. If you have them and build upon them, your marriage will succeed.
Contrary to what most people believe, God's idea of a good marriage is not a perfect one, but a blissful one. Perfection is not the same as bliss.
There's no PERFECT marriage anywhere in the world. How can there be when there's no single perfect individual on earth? "Perfect" means without mistakes or errors.
The highest we all can achieve is BLISS. "Blissful" means enjoyable, sweet, interesting. This doesn't mean that negative issues won't happen.
The working marriages are not the ones devoid of negative issues, but the ones with spouses who are intelligent, mature, humble and selfless enough to resolve them. Someone said that marriage is a union of two good forgiver.
Therefore, if you are full of yourself, proud, domineering, high-minded, boastful, malicious, overly-possessive, overly-controlling, jealous, insecure, impatient, temparemental, selfish, dishonest, lazy, untrustworthy, vision-less, nasty and lacks the fear of God, please don't marry yet.
Work on yourself first!
Aside the grace of God, marriage largely revolves around the personality of the two spouses involved. Please who you are as a person coupled with your adherence to the marriage principles or laws will help your marriage.
In the month of August (watch out for the details here), I will have a HANGOUT with the singles and married on zoom or Google. I want you all to be happily married. Marriage is sweet but you and your spouse are to make it so.
Many thanks for reading, commenting, liking, sharing.
