Hello friends, Happy new week. A fresh week of opportunity.
It's the edition 1 of week 65 of prompt and am pleased to be participating.
From the beginning of the world, marriage has existed. When Adam was formed, the creator observed that he was alone and made an Eve (wife) to be his company.
Marriage is a great thing but regrettably this present generation has forgotten the main purpose of marriage. They just wish to answer the name "I'm Married".
Not married yet but why the biggest concern after being poor is marrying the wrong person. Marrying the wrong person might make you lose focus, ambitions and frustration. The worrisome thing is that marriage is permanent therefore any little mistake done choosing a wrong partner might damage your life and children's lives forever.
Sometimes when I watch someone I look up to marriage fail, I wonder to myself, must I even get married? Like marriage isn't worth all the stress. Why joyful now and be miserable today.
I have also questioned why love in the olden days lasts longer than today. Is it because our age tends to display fake love more than true love?
I know I'm not married yet but after listening to many marriage teachings and reading books I have come to believe that the primary reason marriages fail is due to these reasons.
People desire to emulate other people's marriages or what they see on social media. That is one reason I don't enjoy social media. Couples will look joyful there but their houses are not at ease. You will believe they are enjoying a wonderful existence and you want to make your marriage appear like that without understanding that every marriage is different.
Marriage is like an exam every couple has a distinct question paper, copying someone else's answer inevitably makes you fail. In the school of marriage there is NO graduation, that 's why it's for better or worse. Things may not always work out as planned, there must always be misunderstanding but the capacity to always forgive it's extremely important.
Another reason why marriages fail is lust. Many people engage in marriage because the male has money and the lady appears lovely externally. When these things are not available, their interest shifts.
In marriage you have to be dedicated no matter what. You can see someone more affluent or rich than your spouse but commitment is what keeps you going.
Love doesn't necessarily maintain marriage but commitment does.
No matter how marriages around us appear to be disintegrating today, we should also keep a positive perspective that our marriage is exceptional and won't collapse. When you have a bad outlook about marriage your marriage is inclined to collapse. Be mentally,, physically, spiritually and most importantly financially ready to go into the realm of marriage.
Also it is important to pray for guidance, study books and listen to teaching about marriage from well experienced people. Don't hurry and don't allow anybody to push you into a marriage that will take your life or you could regret.
Thank you for reading
