My name is Dora.

I am 35 years old and everybody keeps reminding me that age is no longer on my side.

My fiance and I have been dating for more than one year and we are getting married soon.

My fiance is 40 years old and he has never been married.

The relationship was really good when we started but now that our wedding is in a few weeks time, he has shown how controlling he can be.

From the choice of the wedding dress, to the bridesmaids selection, to the colour of the day, he wants to be in charge.

He also wants his mum to buy the cloth for our engagement as well as buy our wedding ring.

He does whatever his family says without seeking my opinion and it almost seems as if I am not the one getting married.

I told my parents about how this makes me feel and they just asked me to endure because I am getting older but I really fear for what is going to happen after the wedding.

Are these not red flags I should run from?

I am confused, please advise me.


Yes, they are warning signs, with the exception of the guy in charge portion because men should always act like men, but why didn't you catch all of that throughout the year you were seeing him? Were you enamored with money or anything else? If not, you are not paying attention.

It's great that you're getting married, but if you've asked him about what you noticed, what was his response? If not, confront him with your concerns before we proceed, that is, if you truly adore him and are prepared to wed him. No matter how challenging a man may be, there is always a way to deal with them but only if you have the endurance. In case I forgot, is he a christian or a Muslim?

β–  Seeking the face of God does not mean that the husband or the wife will not misbehave...., She needs to talk to him about how displeased she is with d whole thing and if there is anything they should both reach a conclusion as per Couple they are.
Interesting assertion! If the husband and wife will misbehave in much the same way as those who never sought the face of God would, then what was the point of "seeking the face of God" ritual, to begin with? undecided

My point still remains that seeking the face of God does not Connotes Romeo and Juliet relationship, even people that receive direct confirmation to their marriages without applying wisdom will not end well

My advice is that you try 2 look for his mumu button first..every man have it.

Another thing is that try 2 talk 2 him about it.. Marriage no be anybody mate o. Once u re in u re in.. So 2 talk 2 him about it.. A 40years old man should be mature enough to make decision on his own.

These are just the white flags(not red) of losing your self governance. In marriage, as a lady, you forfeit your self governance and surrender it to your new boss - the husband. If that seems too difficult to contemplate or comply with, you have no business marrying! Marriage is not a union of two equals. It is an institution of hierarchy in which the husband is the head of organization. He receives all advice but to him belongs the inalienable privilege and prerogative of decisions by which the organization(home) must operate. You hypocrite feminists find it convenient to comply with this natural order in your cooperate or work places because without compliance your salaries are gone but when you get home , you bloody hypocrite cannot follow same routine because God is your mate and His orders are not for you since it does not guarantee your salary. Hypocrites!!!

Madam, you are the neck of your forthcoming marriage and your spouse is the head, please apply wisdom and experience peace in your home.

In the holy scriptures,Can you cultivate the patience of Sarah, the smartness of Abigail & the heart of Rebecca?

In your convo with him,massage his bloated ego & make your opinions be seen as coming from him.


Shalom.

A hierarchy in marriage was a result of the curse God placed on marriage when He wished His hands off it in Genesis 3 vs 16. . Man and Woman were formerly meant to live as Partners - one - until the curse. So any woman who submits in marriage instead chooses to submit to God's curse. lipsrsealed

Did you seek the face of God before getting this far? It is never to late to ask God before you tie the knot.

Let God direct your choice not your age. Marriage without seeking God's direction before proceeding is baba ijebu.

God is the foundation of marriage. Seek His face before it's too late.

LOL.... look at this one. God instead said that if you have lusted in your heart you have sinned against Him - Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28. So, before you go casting others down the unrighteousness of others, be certain to beyond yours. grin

By the way, God does not answer the prayers of all unrighteous people; the prayer, pleas, offerings, giving, works, praises, etc., of the unrighteous, are made filthy by their sins and are hence an abomination to God. undecided

Pls. Think we'll. Or else the Marriage may end within a year:
The man does not see you as a wife but as a subordinate that should not be involved in any decision making process.
He is not matured enough to get married. Every activity at home will be controlled by him and his immediate family members.
If you think you can change him later, then you are deceiving yourself.Such men never change their character.
I cannot advise my own sister to marry such man.
So if both of you contribute money to buy a propertysuch as a land or a house he will write his name on the document instead of including your own FULL NAME. FOR more legal and moral advice contact me through my WhatsApp no 090769768sixtytwo.
