What is marriage?

 

What is marriage?

Marriage 
is an institution ordained by God and for any marriage to be successful the foundation of that marriage should be built on the word of God.  Marriage is the potential for an intense, deep and diverse intimacy.
 You can’t be married and still live single by prioritizing your job over your family. Marriage means no matter how hard you try to prove you are “right”, to keep a marriage strong, you might have to admit that you are “wrong”. Marriage bare no record of wrong doing rather it is full of compassion.
For husbands this means love your wife genuinely and once you love your wife genuinely submission comes naturally. The beautiful union called marriage as I earlier said is an institution ordained by God as a lifelong relationship between one man as a husband and one woman as a wife not one man to multiply women, guess what marrying more than one wife won’t make you more of a man or make you receive an award for job well done but it will reduce your integrity, dignity and even cause chaos once you are gone in the family, so it is one man one wife.
Marriage is not wedding, wedding is a day’s event while marriage is life time. It is adequate preparation for marriage that will determine how successful you will become in it, somethings we spend our singlehood talking and preparing for wedding that
we forget to plan and prepare for marriage itself.
 It takes two people who are ready to make their marriage work make it work. Marriage is being with who you are happy with, like mind, someone who supports your vision, someone who understands you, someone who share your dreams and not talk about their bills. Never marry a man or a woman out of pity (he or she has done a lot for me and I feel the only way I could pay him back is to marry him or her; congrates it will crash some day). Marriage is about not giving up on your partner because of their flaws, it’s about standing by them and work as a team to fight that flaws. It’s not about finding or looking for Mr. or Miss perfect, it’s about two imperfect people walking together as a team to make yourself perfectly perfect for each other. It’s not about waiting for this rich handsome guy without vision, but it’s about building an empire with the man with vision, because a man with vision will become rich some day and then you become an asset to him if only you stood by him to make it come to reality but a man without vision but has money will go back to zero level, because he is full of waste. Marriage is about not exposing your spouse’s weakness to the world rather praising their strength outside and correcting their weaknesses inside. Marriage is good and the sweetest institution and oldest as well ordained by God and if anyone is not succeeding in it, it is as a result of lack of wisdom and once you lack wisdom crisis steps in.
The coming together of a man and a woman as couples is the divine orchestration from God most especially when they are genuine Christians. It is not just getting what you desire but meeting the genuine needs of your spouse. The standards for marriage is that you must be matured spiritually, mentally and physically to manage emotions and the affairs of the marriage, once you lack maturity in this area you find it easy to give up on your marriage and your spouse. Marriage is all about sacrifices, don’t be too selfish, think about satisfying your spouse in every area including sexually. Do not only be interested about what you can get, consider your spouse in your decision making. In marriage you need to be patient with your spouse in handling their flaws, imagine you have stayed with your siblings by 20-30 years and you still quarrel with them, so be patient with your spouse knowing no one is perfect.
Try not to make the whole environment tensed because of your anger and all spouse should be open to accept change and correction if you want your marriage to last, don’t feel you know it all their by teaching your spouse to be cunny in the process imitator becoming worse than originators. Don’t expect your partner to be open or sincere when you are not open, it will not work, transparency from both partners is required to enjoy success in marriage. Marriage is not liking your spouse flaws but not giving up on them.
 Have a right mentality about marriage, and don’t think divorce. Don’t ever make your partner find comfort outside your marriage because of your attitude, try and bring out the best in your partner
