I have heard many say that relationships are more enjoyable and sweeter than marriage. And it’s so sad that the roadmap to marriage is more enjoyable than the marriage itself. Surprisingly, people be in a committed relationship for 3, 5, or 10 years, and within three months after marriage, everything will collapse.
And here is one major reason :
People try and give their best while dating but get so relaxed after marriage because it seems to them that they have gotten what they wanted.
My dear listener, stop relaxing in your marriage because this is where the real work begins. You can’t pass the relationship test and fail the main exam (marriage). It’s a total failure when the relationship seems better than the marriage.
You still have many competitors out there who wish your husband or wife were theirs. This shows that it’s a matter of grace and a great opportunity to have such a partner in your arms.
So after marriage this is where you double- and triple-up on the things that pushed your husband or wife to marry you just to secure the union more because the little opportunity you give the devil or your competitors they will tempt your partner.
After the marriage, this is where you should increase your prayer life, love your wife more, be more submissive to your husband, cook your best, care your best, dress your best, sex your best, communicate your best etc. Protect your reward.
