A great marriage is not far from you. That's if you know what to do. If you don't, it can become hell. Here are 15 nuggets of truth to help you in your (future) marriage:
1. You cannot beg someone into loving you.
2. If thou fall in love and find out he is a lazy man thou must quickly fall out of love with him that thou dost not imperil thyself by marrying a lazy man.
3. The woman who is developing herself is a threat to the husband who is not improving himself.
4. Marriage is not charity and must be mutually satisfying. Therefore, thou shalt not marry out of pity.
5. Relying on your spouse to make you complete is an unrealistic expectation and a setup for disappointment. Only Jesus can make you complete.
6. Thou shalt not get into a new relationship to get back at your ex or prove that you're still desirable.
7. After a breakup you must make sure you're healed before entering a new relationship.
8. If he cannot hold himself now before marriage don't think that when he marries you he will keep himself to you. He will carry over the indiscipline of premarital sex and graduate into extramarital affairs.
9. Don't allow in dating what you don't want to see in your marriage, for example beating, verbal abuse.
10. Be wary of a touchy issue she would rather keep secret.
11. Walk away if he wants you to prove your love by sleeping with him. You can be sure he is a predator and have past victims.
12. If you cannot imagine having a son who grows to be like him, why continuing to have a relationship with him?
13. If he is smooth talking, check his life whether his lifestyle lines up with his words.
14. When sex is involved it becomes difficult to discern the voice of God over the voice of your body on who to marry.
15. A relationship where you are cut-off from your family or where you do not have a say is a prison.
Which of these nuggets of relationship and marriage is your favorite and why so?
If your future marriage becomes hell (God forbid) how much will you pay to get out? Go and ask people in such marriages the troubles they have been through to right things?
Obviously prevention is better than cure.
