A great marriage is not far from you. That's if you know what to do. If you don't, it can become hell. In this Part 8 of the series are 15 more nuggets of truth to help you in your (future) marriage:
106. Marriage is great if both people see it as a place to practice unselfishly loving another person and living and doing things not for what s/he will get.
107. Marriage will reveal you to both yourself and your spouse - whether you are generous or me-minded. It's better now to practice being your best self and to be honest in relationship as what does not work for one eventually does not work for both.
108. If you do not have a space in your heart, thoughts, time and deeds for me, how can you say you love me?
109. A healthy relationship gives each other space to be themselves.
110. Marrying someone with the hope he or she will become a better person (if you love him/her) is a sure way to disappointment in marriage.
111. You want God to help you give you a good man to marry but you are not interested in conducting yourself as God would want you. Continue to fool yourself in your wishes and sacrifices devoid of obedience.
112. The secret to a good marriage is not in finding an ideal person to marry but in becoming an ideal person to marry.
113. Sometimes love is overrated. Ladies mostly feel that their love will make up for a man's irresponsibility. A lady will live in this make-believe world until the strain from the man not living up to his responsibility exerts too much strain on the relationship than her strength can carry.
114. Where a marriage is working there is someone or both people making it work. Work daily on your marriage!
115. "Maybe" is a simple word that destroys many marriages. "Maybe my marriage will work," It creates the wrong mental image and results in a marriage that is easy to quit. You need to replace that word with "must." "My marriage must work." It must work because I'm committing myself to making it work and I won't marry anyone without a similar commitment.
116. You feel you must try out someone to see if he can satisfy you sexually before you marry him. Continue to help yourself and prepare to figure out everything you will meet in your future.
117. The man who cannot listen to anybody is a rebel and a disaster in waiting if you marry him.
118. He has money and flaunts it. She has beauty and lets it show. Beyond these, s/he does not have real interest in you as a person. I'm sorry for you if you say "Yes."
119. You're engaged and whilst you are preparing to get married, you have evidence that he's cheating on you. Yet out of shame of what will people say, you're going ahead with the marriage. Prepare for plenty crying and pains in that marriage.
120. Observe how he makes decisions. If he does not seek wise counsel and does not consider how his decisions will affect other people, if he marries you, that's how he will continue to make decisions over you.
If you found the information here useful why not be a good friend and share it/ tag your friends?
