In everyday life, many people are reluctant to ask for and offer help. But milestones like weddings lower the barriers to relying on other people. Accepting help may reveal just how much support you have in your community, Julie Beck wrote in June: https://theatln.tc/jaWuJ3cA

Who you marry will shape your mornings and your midnights, your laughter and your prayers, your healing and your hurts.

They will either make love feel like refuge or like something you must survive.

They will influence how you see yourself, how you carry burdens, and how you walk through storms.

Marriage is not just about chemistry or timing—
it is about character. About choosing someone who chooses you even when life is unromantic, even when growth is uncomfortable.

So take your time.
Pay attention to how they handle stress,
how they speak when they’re angry,
how they treat people who can do nothing for them.

Choose someone who prays with you, not just for you. Someone who listens when you’re tired, repents when they’re wrong, and grows instead of blaming.

And if you’re still waiting—don’t rush the decision that will shape decades. It’s better to be single and whole than married and slowly breaking.

Trust God with the timing.
He cares about your heart more than your status, and He is faithful to lead you toward a love that brings life, not regret.

—Ruth.

Many women walk into marriage with sincere hearts and good intentions, yet without fully understanding what covenant will require of them.

Saying “I do” is not the same as being ready to surrender. It is possible to commit to a man while still resisting the deeper calling of marriage itself. Control can be mistaken for strength. Independence can feel safer than trust. Self-protection can quietly replace humility.

Marriage has a way of revealing what still needs to be laid down.

Partnership sounds beautiful, but covenant comes with pruning. Unity carries a cost. Submission, as God designed it, is not about losing oneself. It is about yielding to His leadership until resistance gives way to rest. Until surrender feels like safety, not loss.

Marriage is not just about sharing a last name. It is about sharing a calling. It is not about one person winning, but about both being refined. It is God using two imperfect people to build something eternal through humility instead of ego, forgiveness instead of offense, and love instead of the need to be right.

The work of laying down one’s will does not happen once. It happens daily. And peace is found there. The more control is released, the more room there is for God to breathe beauty, order, and security into a home.

So yes, walk down the aisle.
But also come willing to lay yourself on the altar.
Because marriage does not begin with vows or romance or what others can see.
It begins in yielding, humility, and the holy work of becoming one.

Willem Breedt skryf die mooiste woorde wat ons beloftes gebruik kan word

26/12/2025

Marriage isn’t kept alive by sparks.
It’s kept alive by intention.

By choosing patience when you’re exhausted.
Choosing kindness when sarcasm would be easier.
Choosing connection instead of scrolling, shutting down, or proving a point.

Real love isn’t the feeling that shows up once and stays forever.
It’s the decision you make when the feeling fades a little.

Some days choosing each other feels natural.
Some days it feels uncomfortable.
And some days it looks like saying,
“I don’t feel close right now… but I’m not going anywhere.”

That’s real commitment.
That’s real intimacy.

Strong marriages aren’t built by people who never struggle.
They’re built by two people who keep showing up, even when comfort, ego, or distance is tempting.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to keep choosing the same team.

Choose each other today.
And when tomorrow comes… choose again.
