Sometime ago, a woman from Cameroon sent me a message here on Facebook and bitterly complained to me that her marriage was on the verge of breaking up.
I asked her what happened and she said that for the past 5 years that she has been married, she and her husband never seem to agree on anything, they argue and quarrel over everything, that there’s no peace, and all that.
I asked her how she met the man and she said that she was recommended to the man when he was looking for a wife. So, I counseled her, told her one or two things to do, she thanked me and we ended the conversation.
Listen, the importance of who you marry can never be over emphasized.
✔️ Who you marry holds the key to marital success and fulfillment. Who you marry will determine if your marriage will be successful or not. The success of your marriage begins with who you marry.
✔️ Who you marry determines how your marriage is going to be. Some marriages are like war zones where people are fighting for survival.
✔️ Who you marry determines what your experience in marriage will be like. It will determine if your experience in marriage will be pleasant or hell.
✔️ Who you marry determines whether or not you will enjoy or endure marriage. Many are enduring marriage that was meant to be enjoyed, courtesy of who they marry.
✔️ Who you will determine if you will love long or die young, it’s that serious. We have heard cases of husbands stabbing their wives to death and vice versa.
✔️ Who you marry is the person you will be handing over your life to, that’s the person you will expose your strengths and weaknesses to, that’s the person you will be vulnerable to and God help you that they’re not one of these digital mammy waters that arrange special packages..
✔️ Who you marry determines whether or not the matters you will settle in marriage will be little or much. If you don’t want to be recording new cases everyday in marriage, pay attention to who you marry.
✔️ Who you marry determines whether you enjoy peace in marriage or your life will be in pieces. Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.(Proverbs 21:19 NIV).
✔️ Who you marry will determine whether you make heaven or not. If you marry someone that doesn’t give a damn about God, na God go help you. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers…(2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV)
✔️ Who you marry determines whether you fulfil your ministry or fail. Ask Adam, ask Samson. Marrying the right person can be a great asset to your ministry or a liability to the same.
Note: I didn’t say any of these to frighten you about marriage but to help you understand the importance of who you marry. You don’t need to be afraid, if you care to listen.
This is also more reason reason why you need to seek the face of God before venturing into relationship or get married. God is always there to lead and to direct but have to be His sheep first!(Prov 3:4-5; Jn 10:24)
Is there something I’m missing here, is there something I didn’t add, let me know in the comment.
Thanks for reading and don’t forget to marry right!
