Focus: The pressure of Expectation

WORD FOR TODAY
Learning does not take place in an examination condition. No man/woman learn under the pressure of expectation -Lanre Adeboye!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." (1 Peter 3:7).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man/woman has a template of what a good husband/wife should be in his/her mind. This template serves as an important parameter that guides marital choice and also determines our expectations in marriage.

Moreover, when a man and a woman is eaten up by the love or passion they have for each other; they are likely to be blind to some reality about themselves. However, a time will come when their eyes will open to those realities in various aspect of life. When this happens they are expected to accept each other and work towards becoming one flesh which is one of the most important essence of marital relationship.

Marriage is instituted to make up with our individual inadequacies. Therefore, we must dwell in marriage knowing fully well that people are happy when they are allowed to be themselves rather than living in the consciousness of various template of expectations.

Every man is expected to communicate his mind, desire under God to his/her spouse and give allowance for the required transformation of oneness to take place. Avoid placing unnecessary pressure of expectation on your spouse; doing that communicates nothing but rejection.
