Life is a tutor — marriage is a teacher. There are lots of lessons I have learnt in life through marriage that may not have been possible if I were still unmarried. Though the road was tough at the beginning, but bit by bit, we are becoming the best of what God desires us to be as a couple.
To lead a God-kind of marriage, you must play by the rules. You must follow God’s laid down principles for godly marriage.
Earlier this year, my family celebrated our 10 years wedding anniversary. It’s been a wonderful journey so far, though not without its own high and low moments of tests, trials and triumphs. We have grown to learn together in the waiting room of God and in difficult moments of life where only the power of love can lead the way.
What I am about to share with you are part of my marriage secret spices; they are what I refer to as my marriage golden rule. They have been tested and approved.
In this relationship series, I will be posting the five marriage golden rules one at a time. Let’s look at the first golden rule:
Marriage Golden Rule 1: Marry Your Friend
Marriage is a lifetime union, you cannot afford to spend the rest of your life living with an enemy. Make sure your spouse is a friend, I mean someone you meet as a friend, love as a friend and relate with as a friend. Your spouse should be your best friend. Even when you fight, you fight as friends, not as enemies.
My wife is my best friend, no one can take her place in my heart, every other friend I have come after her.
A true friend truly cares about the other person’s feelings, bears all things and keeps up with all things even when it is not convenient just for the sake of friendship. Before you say yes I do, ask yourself: are we truly friends? A good friend seeks for your good, sacrifice a lot to make you happy and go out of the way to please you. That is a key secret to a successful marriage: a marriage where couples play with one another, talk and live together as best friends. Bridge every emotional gap, find more time to bond together.
