Marriage: Don't Wait For Perfect Conditions by kpakpandoN(op): 6:22pm On Mar 16, 2025
In Genesis 2:18-25, God said that it is not good for man to be alone, and He instituted marriage. This is why believers should not delay getting married once they are mature enough, have a stable source of income, and God has shown them the right partners.

Marriage, however, isn’t an achievement in itself; a man and his wife are to help each other achieve their God-given goals. Believers should not try to achieve everything before getting married; whoever they marry is to help them fulfil their purpose and aspirations. Some of the things people struggle to achieve will become easier when their helpers join them (Deuteronomy 32:30).

The earlier people marry and start having children, the quicker they can finish raising them and focus on God’s work. However, this exempts those whom God told specifically not to get married. I thank God I married early and had children early too. Imagine if I had my first child at age 40; I might have been unable to focus on God’s work as l should, and my wife might have been unavailable to help me. Once I was done raising all my children, I might not have had the same strength I had to do God’s work in the early days of my ministry.

Many people delay getting married until they realise that time is running out fast. Consequently, they hurriedly find someone to marry. Marriage is not an institution to rush into; there is a need to pray and be sure of God’s will concerning it. When people are in a hurry to get married, everything will look like a sign of God’s will, and they may end up marrying the wrong partners. Marrying the wrong person is like driving with someone who isn’t going in your direction. There will always be disagreements, confusion, and stress because both parties are going in opposite directions.

Lamentations 3:27 says that it is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth. In the context of marriage, ‘yoke’ is not a bad thing because marriage means being yoked together with the person that God has ordained to help you. In youth, people have enough strength to conquer mountains and achieve profound things with their spouses. It is unwise to wait for the perfect conditions before getting married because they will never come (Ecclesiastes 11:4). Those who keep waiting to have everything before they marry might end up wasting precious time chasing the wrong things.

You and your cohorts began this brain drain on the Nigerian populace as far back as the 70s. Approximately 40-something years later, the results are in, announcing that well over 170,000,000(170 million) Nigerians now live under abject poverty conditions, with over 80 percent of the youths born into generational poverty by parents who were themselves born into generational poverty. EVen at that, you all don't seem to be done as your intention is to ensure that as many more of those who have escaped poverty so more are pulled down by you while you continue to feed on their fat. undecided

Having said what I was coming to say even better, I keep quiet.
