This is for Men and Women.
Marriage is Sacred
Do not marry for s*xual pleasure or pressure. You will not be having s*x every day. There's more to marriage than just s*x. When you pay bride price or dowry, you have not bought anyone or entered into a social contract with the other family. Neither is bride price a passport to abuse your partner whether physically, emotionally or financially.
Never be pressured into marriage either by family or society at large, the decision is personal and not communal. Do not enter Marriage because of children as these are a gift from God. Lately, we are witnessing a lot of ugly divorces these days as the institution of marriage has been trivialised and distorted. Remember, God created marriage not only for the benefit of the two people involved, but society at large. When we have broken marriages, we inevitably have broken children and ultimately a dysfunctional society. The dire effects go beyond the nuclear family and the repercussions can be felt for generations to come. Take your time and marry for purpose not for pleasure. Above all, seek God before you settle down.
