After salvation, the most important choice you will make is who to marry. This decision is crucial because if you choose poorly, you will suffer for a long time.
However, if you choose wisely, you will enjoy a lifetime of happiness.
A bad marriage can impact every area of your life. This is why many married people wish they could be single again to make a better choice.
If you are single, don’t rush into marriage. You have the perfect opportunity to prepare.
For two people to live together in peace and harmony, they must agree spiritually, mentally, and physically.
Just as an elephant cannot marry an ant, a believer should not marry an unbeliever. Imagine an elephant and an ant trying to live together or a goat and a fish trying to meet. It’s impossible. You must seek a godly man or woman to marry; nothing compares to this.
The devil targets families because everyone belongs to one. If he can bring two incompatible people together, he can negatively affect communities and nations.
Ignore your age and the pressure for a moment; the pressure of a wrong marriage is far worse.
God has someone for you, but you must set your priorities straight. Ask yourself, what do you need in a partner? Marriage is not about what you want; it is about who you need, someone who will make you better as you make them better. It’s about destiny. This is why you must know your purpose before getting married (Genesis 2:18).
You must pray before choosing your partner. God knows the best person for you, so it’s wise to seek His will. It’s easier to understand God’s will when se-x is not involved. Once se-x is involved, and you seek His will, He will be silent because you have broken His law of no se-x before marriage.
If you have had se-x in the past, repent and stay away from each other for some time before seeking God’s guidance.
Don’t marry for se-x;
Don’t marry because you are of age;
Don’t marry because you are getting old
Don’t marry because you are lonely
Don’t marry because you need financial support
Don’t marry because of an accidental pregnancy
Don’t marry because you don’t want to lose someone
Don’t marry because of family pressures, or because you admire weddings.
Instead marry to fulfil your destiny. Marry to be a helpmate.
As a man, marry to fulfil your purpose. Let God guide your choice, and allow his will to be done in your life.
I am Anthony Chukwuebuka – the boo of the booless; and I pray for you this day that your marriage will not be a hell on earth; but honourable – in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
