Well, they say a person who is single gives the best relationship advice. I’m single and have only being into a relationship with Jesus all my life.

Marriage is a honorable thing and whoever finds a wife, finds a good thing (Hebrews 13:4).

It’s good to know the basics of marriage before going into it because if mistake is made, it can never be corrected without going contrary to the will of God (Matthew 5:32).

Don’t rush into marriage because you see other people rushing into it because I tell you the truth, some who rush into it are wishing they could come out of it and become single once again just like you.

Don’t consider your age, family and peer pressure, you soul mate family background, financial and education status when you want to make your choice for marriage. God created just one partner for you and no other can take it place or else you won’t have a happy marriage for the rest of your life on earth but you must give God enough time to mold and direct that “special one” to you (Proverbs 3:6).

God is never in a hurry because He has all eternity to work (2 Peter 3:9), then why should you be in a hurry when God Himself whom we were all created in His image and likeness is a patient God (Genesis 1:27). Wait for that person who before the creation of the world, God predestined for you (2 Timothy 2:19).

Well for those who are already married, pay close attention to this. You did your marriage in the church, right? Have you ever asked yourself why you did your marriage in the church and not in the zoo? Well, the answer is you did your marriage in the church because marriage is a bond created by God between male and female and they become one flesh (Genesis 2:24).

Since God himself created and ordained marriage, only relying on the principles of God can make it continue without regular fights. No human is infallible, but only God is (Psalm 18:30).

A situation where the man and the woman give contrary opinions on how the home should be ran, there is bound to be misunderstanding and fights. The man says ”I’m right” and the woman says “Get out of here mhen.. You’re dam wrong!” and when it is not resolved, they start suggesting divorce to resolve the conflict.

To divorce is against the commandments of God. A man can only divorce his wife if the woman is involved in sexual immorality ( Matthew 5:32) though he can still choose to forgive on that ground. Court cannot decide your marriage but only God can and God cannot come from Heaven to control your marriage but has already laid down His principle and rules of life including marriage life in the Holy Bible.

The Holy Bible is God breath and was written through divine inspiration( 2 Timothy 3:16) and it is infallible and should guide your marriage (Proverbs 30:5).

Make an agreement between yourselves that the Holy Bible should be the judge of your marriage who make the final decision and declare the winner. When you find your wife doing something contrary to the scripture, call to her attention “sweetie pie, but that not what the scriptures says” and she will make amendment. Likewise the wife should do the same to the husband.

To Remember the scriptures, you need the Holy Spirit (John 14:26). If this is practiced, you will be surprise why you never get misunderstanding in your marriage anymore.

Happy marriage life to all the newly wedded couples! Peace!

This is deep... A lot of things should be considered before picking a life partner... especially someone whom one is compatible with.

And being of the same faith too is important...

Feelings alone cannot sustain a marriage...
