A friend shared this with me and I think you need to read this well.
The rate at which marriages collapse now is assuming a social status symbol in our society.
In no-time, people will be throwing divorce parties and invite friends and well-wishers to celebrate their divorce anniversaries;
they will choose aso-ebi, hire a hall and popular musicians & what have you.
Even a question like
"So when are you getting divorced?"
will become common.
If you know you can't handle the weight & pressures of marriage, please remain single. If you don't know what marriage is all about, please remain single until you do.
If you are getting married because of the things you desire or hope to gain from the other person please remain single.
If you know you can't be faithful, remain single.
If you can't endure insults from one another, please remain single.
If you can't forgive one another's wrongs, please remain single.
If you can't place your spouse above every other human being, please remain single! Don't get married out of desperation.
"All my friends are getting married"
is the most foolish reason to get married! And also Sexual Urge & Infatuation.
If you desire a successful home, but your choice of friends are forces not to reckon with, think again.
Be very mindful of where you go for advices, Many would give,
but not many mean well!
Guys,
if you know you can't put your wife ahead of your ego, please remain single till you're mature. Your wife is your priority and EVERYTHING else including you, comes last. You are d teacher, the guide, the bodyguard, the role model - you are not a deity or God.
So do not expect to be worshiped.
You need respect,
earn it by being responsible!
Ladies, if you know you can't be submissive
please don't go into marriage so you're not turned to a punching bag!
If you know you can't stand being corrected,
pls remain single.
Mr/Mrs I know it all!!!
Ladies check your domestic scorecard
- if your score is "zero",
please stay in your parents' house!
People,
please make your marriages work.
It doesn't matter if you are Married or Not. Marry for love, marry your friend,
but most importantly, put God 1st....
Hmm... Great article bro! Marriage is indeed a mystery and the more I watch and observe marriages around me, both matured and young couples, the more I keep saying to myself (and come to two simple conclusions) - Marriage is for the matured, the one who has not evicted proper preparation for it. 2, marriage is more than love! It must be based on God's will.
ReplyDeleteAll the marriages that ended up in divorce, they loved each other before they tied the knot... So something else apart from love was definitely missing!
May the Lord have mercy on us all at the junction of marriage!
Amen!
