*MARITAL BLISS*
*EIGHT THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A SPOUSE.*
📌 The fact that the parents are good does not mean the child will also be a good spouse. Is
he or she committed to God? Infact are you even committed to God? Because when light and darkness meets, there'll be a big situation right? So it begins with you to a great extent.
📌 Don’t marry just because your parents say so. Is your intended partner your friend? Because if you marry because your parents said so, then when the challenges in marriage surfaces, will your parents be the one to handle it? Marry because you're ready, mature and have tangible purposes for getting married.
📌 If you marry too early you will miss out on certain things in life (example; your youth, your time of being single and free). I'd always advice that you marry when you know that you're ready. Being ready is not a product of age but of exposure, experience and maturity. If at 23 you've attained to that level, go ahead and if at 40 you're yet to get there, please stay single.
📌 Consider the fact that people do not really change and so anything that you do not like about an individual is also not likely to change. And please don't even be deceived to think that when you get married to the person, he or she will change; it's a lie o. Learn how to manage that area and if you cannot, kindly let the person be.
📌 Will you or your partner be in a position to manage financially? Money is an important factor in marriage o, when things goes south financially tomorrow, will you and your partner be able to still live and thrive together? It's important to know it.
📌 Will you have a place to stay when you marry? Hope it's not in your parents house o?🙄 It's better to start in a single room of your own than to start in your parents duplex. It's your parents house, go and create your own.
📌 Tribal differences are going to
affect your marriage if not discussed and dealt with from the beginning. This is not to say you must marry someone from your village o, what I mean is that you understand your culture and that of your partner and ensure that both of you can blend and learn to adjust accordingly.
📌 Don't focus on academic qualifications, rather focus on the person's ability and willingness to learn, adjust and be flexible. We have people who are educated but their mindset is as hard as a rock, trust me you don't need that. Having an open mind should be one major thing to look out for in a potential spouse.
Of course there's more but let me stop here so it doesn't get too long.
The most important thing is that you know who you are, what you want in life and marriage, who will be willing to walk with you through that route and be ready to make sacrifices because marriage is going to demand it from time to time.
I hope you learned a thing or two.
Be Intentional!
Good Morning
