"Marry Your Friend" - Who Then Is Your Friend? by HembaqMbk: 5:39pm On Jul 05, 2020
Marriage counsellors keep advising singles to always marry their friends. My question is - who really is your "Friend" ?. I believe answer to this question will help us understand all these "Marry your friend" preaching.

See thread where such advice was give - https://www.nairaland.com/5971268/marry-best-friend-bishop-chris


Please I implore married men and women on this forum to tell us what it means to marry your friend and who your friend is in the context of marriage.


Thanks.

Before Marriage, seek God's Face for Direction. Very Important

As Humans, we are Extremely Limited..

God Speaks! God Directs! God Reveals! All you need is to seek Him with a Honest Heart!

Don't seek God Almighty with a Choice in mind! If not devil may also give u a dream...

I remember telling God years ago, that if I don't hear him, I won't Marry! I had so many people around me who were willing to marry me but my mind was made up.

Glory to God, He Gave me His Choice for me..

Hearing God eliminates Struggles! When things are looking funny, HE Shows up and fixes it because HE is only Committed to where He sends you!

It's what God Gives that He is committed to!

Whoever you choose to marry, beyond the love, make him/her your friend. Be interested in what s/he is interested in, be willing to be that person s/he looks to spend quality time with.

Ur friend in marriage is someone U have real affection, someone U re fond Of or U like, someone U have strong bond, someone that support and feel deep connection.
Summary ur friend is someone U can play, pray, or eat together.

@OP ignore this new breed of marriage counselors that know nothing about marriage but keep repeating talking points created by Hollywood, American Advert Companies, and Fantasy writers.

These people have sold a deception and got a lot of people confused about marriage.

Marriage has nothing to do with love.

My friend is my friend na...
Abi my friend na your friend??


On a serious note, the only advice I will give to couples or intending couples is, LOVE SOMEONE YOU MARRY, DONT MARRY SOMEONE YOU LOVE.

Don't be confused about that statement. It means, even if it's an unavoidable situation that made u both become husband and wife just love yourselves cos that's the only way your marriage can be successful.

Saying u should not marry someone u love doesn't mean u should marry someone u hate..NO, but u will agree many people were lusting cos of maybe the current qualities their spouses had then, so what happens when those qualities are no longer available Hatred sets in, and the family is torn apart.... Love your wife, love your husband!

Hmm.

But if you look at it from another angle,marrying your friend might make you overfamiliar with him/her.
Which might kill the sexual attraction.

Some people will say Jesus is their friend.


What they mean is marry the girl or guy you can vibe with and won't get tired of their presence.

Not because she has enlarged ukwu and makes sweet pounded yam or he has oko like ogede and drives Bentley.

One would think they're promoting homosexuality. Lol. Then again, hardly have I seen a man having a woman as his best friend and hardly have I seen a woman having a man as her best friend.
