Val's Edition

Happy Val’s Day Sweeties!!
Today, I’ll like to share a few tips I picked from the ‘Singles and Married’ Seminar at Graceville Christian Centre, Abuja on 9th February, 2014. It was an wonderful, real and exiting meeting headed by Pastor Tunde Ayeni (Pastor Tee). I’ll discuss the Singles’ segment today and that of the Married soon.

Singleness is not a natural way of existence; it’s a phase of life that requires certain grace to live in it. Once that phase is over and you’re still living in it, you have lots of stumbling tendencies. Don’t turn that passing phase into a permanent residence; believe God for that phase to pass quickly.

In making your choice of a life partner, DON’T TRY TO PLAY THE HERO. She’s a single mum, her child is comfortable around you, you want to correct the past wrongs and change her perspective about men…. Hey! You can prove all that to her without rushing into marriage. Take out time to understand what you are getting into. Make informed decisions so that you don’t start a journey with load that turns out to become a burden midway into the journey. Don’t start something you’ll have to complain while doing later in life.

Always apply the Law of observation. People don’t change overnight.  Don’t expect something you are tolerating in a relationship to disappear when you get married. Don’t be too carried away by love that you think he/she will treat you differently. If she fights her family members, colleagues, friends and church members; don’t expect to be an exception for a long time. It’s a lifelong commitment; don’t stay in a trap for the rest of your life.

 I’ll conclude in Pastor Tee’s words:

“Men don’t marry those who turn them on; they marry those who don’t turn them off”

Dress decently, don’t throw your privacy out in public and adjust your personal habits to be accommodating.

Do have a pleasant Val’s day celebration.
