The A-Z of marriage is a must read as a matter of fact and very detailed guide arranged alphabetically for the benefit of women to go through before marriage.

A – ACCEPTANCE
Every man deserves to be accepted by his wife because of who he is, not because of who he hopes to be. Let him be free to be who he is in your presence and try to resist nagging and arguing about anything he does. Hard as it might seem to be, you have to admit his mistakes and then start pushing him to improve one step at a time.

B – BEAUTY
Men are driven by what they see, so you still make an effort to make your husband look stunning. Take time to do your hair, take care of your face, lose weight in your pregnancy, trim your eye brows, and learn to apply simple make-up to enhance the beauty given to your God.

C – CHALLENGE HIM TO BE BETTER
Men want women who can challenge or encourage them to be better, so they can find ways to challenge them to be better without threats.

D – DEVOTED
Be loyal to your husband, stay thick and thin with him and be committed to improving his life. Make him feel like he is the most important thing in your life, and always pay attention to him, regardless of the distractions life throws at you like your work or the kids.

E – ENCOURAGEMENT
Men need a good dose of inspiration. As his partner, you are his biggest fans and supporter. Encourage him through the tough times; let him know that you are with him before he comes through, every step of the way cheering him on.

F – FRIENDSHIP
A man needs his wife to be someone he can trust without being questioned and a friend to be his companion. Without having to be constantly reminded of bills or commitments, he needs to be able to hang out with you and watch football matches or play a video game.

G – GRACEFUL
He needs you, particularly when you go out in public, to be able to handle yourself well. Strive to look and behave like other women’s kind of woman would look up to be. Don’t be noisy and lousy unnecessarily; carry yourself with grace and integrity.

H – HELP
This is the major reason why you have been created. God not only made Adam a help, he made him a help that was reasonable and necessary for him. So figure out a specific place where your husband needs support and close the gap. It can be financial or domestic aid.

I – INTELLIGENCE
Beauty will help you attract a man, but intelligence is what will maintain a man. Men like women who can stimulate them mentally and have an interesting conversation with them. He needs to know that you can maintain your own end when it switches from cooking and fashion to politics, sports or industry.

J – JOVIAL
The one thing that most men do not leave behind when they are boys is playing and having fun. Men like having fun, and women, as such, like having fun. Since your job is not to stop him from having fun with his wife, having fun with him is your job. So don’t stop him from playing his video games or even physical games instead of learning how to play them, so you can play with him.

O – OVATION
Celebrate and praise your husband. Appreciate all his efforts and don’t belittle any of his victories. Don’t try to clip his ego, instead fan it, let him feel on top of the world with you. Don’t only complain when he does things wrong also praise him when he does things right.

Remember if two shall agree concerning anything it shall be done. Be in agreement with him, try to be involved and committed to his dreams, work with him and support him.

V – VIRTUOUS
A virtuous woman is a crown unto her husband. The kind of woman who once she enters a man’s life he becomes better and he enters into his kingship.
