6 FACTORS NECESSARY FOR MAKING CHOICES

1. AGREEMENT Amos 3:3 (can two walk together except they be agreed?)
Once there is no agreement a couple's destiny is at a standstill because they both want to go in different directions. On important issues you must be of same character with the person you'll marry. If you must be opposites they have to be on trivial issues.
3 Levels of agreement:
A. Spiritual agreement:-
You must agree on matters of doctrine
You must agree on matters around the body of Christ
B. Intellectual agreement. When there is intellectual bankruptcy in a relationship it usually leads to sexual temptation.
C. Body agreement. Dont be deceived into disregarding the importance of physical attraction to the person you want to marry.

1 Cor 7:39. You are at liberty to marry whom you want. God does not force spouses on people.

2. NEVER CONFUSE WHAT SOMEONE DOES AS TO WHO THEY ARE. WHAT THEY DO IS THEIR CHARISMA, WHO THEY ARE IS CHARACTER.GO FOR CHARACTER OVER CHARISMA
Dont base your decision to marry somebody on what they can do: they can sing and the atmosphere is charged, they can pray fire down from heaven etc. While those are good but they're merely a person's charisma which is totally different from their character that is who they truly are and is what you should be on the lookout for.
That somebody is a Christian does not mean they're compatible for you

3. GOD'S PRINCIPLE OF 1+1=1 Matt 19:5-6
If you don't feel complete as a human, there is high probability that you wont do so in a marriage. Your partner is not supposed to be your "other half" because you should be whole as a person and not a half in need of another half to complete it. God's word says that the TWO shall become ONE not the 0.5 + 0.5 shall become one. So find your wholesomeness first and be comfortable in your
own skin before going to look for a spouse.
NB. Where there is no love, it cannot be forced, where there is love it cannot be hidden.

4. DEVELOP YOURSELF
A self developed person has more and better choices in life. As a lady for example and you feel it doesnt matter to take good care of your body or brush up on your grammar because you feel you're already beautiful anyways, what you dont know is that by that singular act you have automatically cut off certain would be husbands from your life. Dont settle for where you are. Strive to be better and watch how your options will grow likewise

5. THE DIRECTION OF YOUR VISION IN LIFE
Dont go for someone whose vision and direction is at polar opposites with yours. For example your vision is to work with kids and you're going for someone whose vision is totally anti childcare, you're both going to get into some serious trouble in life.
When you are on the wrong road in life, speed does not matter since you're already heading away from your calling anyways.

6. BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE LEADING OF GOD IN CHOOSING A PARTNER
Having found a partner who ticks the five boxes above, this is now time to subject him/her to the most important step of all: hearing and following the leading of God as concerning that person.
NOTE: that someone has ticked all five boxes above does not still mean that is the person for you or that God has already given him/her a passmark.
