A successful and beautiful marriage isn’t achieved on a silver platter, and it isn’t automatic. Even for God to bless it, you need to sow for a good harvest. One needs to be ready to work it out, sacrifice, tolerate, endure, accept, etc., to get to that stage of beauty and success. Many wish, but they aren’t ready to pay the price.
See some of the prices we pay
1) To maintain strong communication with your partner, you need to purchase airtime each day and chat or talk to them for hours on daily basis. At times, you need to stop important things you are doing and just give them some attention.
2) To show that you care about them, you need to at times give them money, even though you can save it or use it for vital things ,just to put a smile on their faces.
3) Some need to travel for hours, risking their lives, just to visit their partners.
4) At times the food isn’t sufficient, yet one need to share it with the partner.
5) Though you aren’t always in the mood for sex, as long as he / she needs it, you need to give it.
6) At times you are too tired and even helpless after long hours of working, yet you need to cook for your family.
7) You see beautiful, handsome, attractive, and rich people approaching you each day, and you deeply know they are far better than your partner in so many things. But you have made up your mind not to cheat or break your marital vows.
8) Yes, your partner is messing up, and looking at your strength, you can really do justice to her, yet you have trained yourself not to cross that boundary. These, and many more, I cannot list here.
So, my dear, there is a price to pay to make it beautiful and successful. If you don’t lose something, you can’t gain the success or beauty you’re wishing for.
