Longevity in marriage doesn't necessarily mean success. As important as love is, it's not the most important thing in marriage; WISDOM is. There's no challenge that can't be overcome by applying wisdom.
Sometimes, wisdom could be 'apologizing even when you aren't wrong', 'taking the blame for your spouse's shortfalls before friends and family' and ultimately, praying for him/her.
Anybody above the age of 18 has a minimum of 4 personalities within him/her:
- The person he/she is by birth
- The person formed by people's influence on him/her (including conclusions from past relationships)
- The person formed by religious influence and
- The person his/her personal philosophies made him/her (their dos and don'ts)
Marriage should not be seen as a mere contract, it is supposed to be a covenant. People in a covenant don't jump out because of challenges. Discovering faults doesn't give you the right to quit because it is already a sealed covenant. You have the time to change your mind before the solemnization of matrimony, after which you are both considered as covenant partners.
"Before marriage, he/she is A will of God but after marriage, he/she becomes THE will of God."Pst. Tunde AyeniYou too can be part of the last session of the Singles and Married Seminar holding this Sunday 23rd February, 2014.
Enjoy the rest of your week!!
