Before you say “I do,” be sure your soul has said it first… not just your emotions.
Marriage is not a trial-and-error journey. It is a covenant, a lifelong assignment, so you must enter it with clarity, depth, and God at the centre.
KEEP GOD IN YOUR MARRIAGE — AND THINK LONG TERM
Marriage is sweet… but only when two people understand that love is not just a feeling, it’s a responsibility.
Before you marry, ask yourself: Can I love this person even on the days I don’t “feel” like it?
Because marriage is not about two perfect people, it’s about two intentional people.
When God is the foundation, storms may come… but the house will still stand.
The truth is,
• God must be the third cord in your marriage, without Him, the bond weakens.
• Don’t marry for today; marry for the next 40 years. Can you grow with them?
• Love alone is not enough, add character, patience, discipline, and understanding.
• Don’t enter marriage hoping they will change , enter knowing you can handle who they already are.
• Ask yourself: “If everything fades, beauty, money, excitement, will I still choose this person?”
• Build friendship first; chemistry is not the same as compatibility.
• Marry someone you can pray with, plan with, and problem-solve with.
• Choose a partner, not a competitor, marriage is teamwork, not war.
• Know your purpose as individuals and as a couple, confusion breeds frustration.
• Long-term thinking protects you from short-term emotional decisions.
Marriage is not about finding the perfect person…
It’s about choosing someone intentionally, loving them consistently, and building with them spiritually.
When God is in the center, the journey becomes deeper, sweeter, and stronger.
