You got to know things about Marriage


   Why do we get married? Apart from the African culture,norms and Religious beliefs, marriage is accepted as the most fufilling phase everyone needs to or must experience so that a guy could be called a man (this signifies a sense of responsibility) and the lady a woman hence, mother (and if you're not a mother, you ain't yet a woman).
    Some people get married because of their age or let's say childbearing age limit, some because they want their own family, some because they want to feel among, some because of relatives or church elders matchmaking, some because they love one another and can't live without one another and so on (The latter reason is mentioned a lot.).These reasons seems 'reasonable' but I think there should be a more tenable reason.
    The reality check is what happens after the few years spent together like 5-25 years together. You know, when you see really old couples 👴👵 walking together, holding one another as if there lives depends on it and you want to be like them.Guys, think twice. You don't know what they've passed through before they got to where they are now.
    The truth is crisis in marriage is inevitable; the bad and the ugly.This sometimes makes me wonder if it's worth it but based on what God signifies marriage as and what it should be, I can't help but agree.
Marriage is not a one-man thing, it involves two people- a man and a woman.It shouldn't be treated with levity, it's a life's project.So, it demands our spiritual attention in places of spiritual battles with effective prayers and actions.
     However, before you go into marriage, you need to think with your head and not necessarily with your heart.The two of you need to come to terms with the many issues facing marriages together.Strike a balance and make committable promises together.Then hope for the best 🤷
