TEN 10 GOLDEN SECRETS OF MARRIAGE:
TO THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED AND/OR ARE PREPARING TO GET MARRIED SOON*
1. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A WEAKNESS
Every rose flower has its own thorns. If you focus too much on your spouse's weakness, you can't get the best out of his/her strength. Count on God for He has no weakness.
2. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A PAST HISTORY
No one is an Angel, therefore, avoid digging one's past. What should be your focus is the present life of your partner. Old things are passed away. Try to forgive and forget. The past can't be changed. So focus on the present and the future!
3. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS IT'S OWN CHALLENGES
Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every flourishing marriage has gone through it's own test of hot and excruciating fire. True love is proven in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage! Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in time of needs. Remember this is the vow you made on your wedding day!
4. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUCCESS
Don't compare your marriage with anyone else's! We can never have equal level of succes in marriage. Some will be in front and others far behind To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time, your marriage dreams shall come true.
5. TO MARRY IS TO DECLARE A WAR
When you marry, you must declare a war against enemies of marriage. Some of the enemies of marriage are: Ignorance, Prayerlessness, Unforgiving, Adultery, Third Party Influence, Stinginess, Stubbornness, Lack Of Love, Rudeness, bitterness, Laziness, Divorce Lack of friendship. Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.
6. THERE IS NO PERFECT MARRIAGE
There is no ready made- marriage anywhere. Marriage is hard work, volunteer yourself and perfect it daily. Marriage is like a CAR with Gear oil, gear box, back axles, etc and If these parts are not properly maintained, the car will break down somewhere along the road and exposing the occupants to unhealthy circumstances. - Many of us are careless about our marriages ... Are you? If you are, please pay attention to your marriage.
7. GOD DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE COMPLETE PERSON YOU DESIRE
He (God) gives you, him or her in the form of raw materials in order for you to mold into what you desire. You may desire a man/woman who can pray for 1 hour but your husband/ wife can only pray for 30 minutes. With your love, prayer and encouragement, she can improve and vice versa.
8. TO MARRY IS TO TAKE A RISK
You cannot predict what will happen after marriage, as situations may change. So, leave room for adjustments; Pregnancy may not come in the next 4 years, You get married to her because she's slim but she becomes 100% fat after a child, He may lose his beautiful job for years that you have to take the financial responsibility of the family until he gets a new job. But with God by your side, you will smile at last.
9. MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTRACT, IT IS PERMANENT*
Marriage needs total commitment, love and friendship is the glue that makes a couple stick together. Divorce starts in the mind where there's doubts. Never think of divorce! Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married! God hates divorce
10. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS A PRICE TO PAY
Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money you deposit into your bank account that you can withdraw. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate of a blissful home. There is no free love in marriage, You cannot love without giving and sacrificing.
May God Give us The Grace And Wisdom To Build A Heaven on Earth Marriage.
Shalom! Shalom!! Shalom!!!
