ARE YOU READY FOR MARRIAGE?

   
This is a question so many people don’t consider before saying “I do” let me tell you, marriage is not just a relationship, it’s sacred and ought to be treated as one, and divorce won’t solve our relationship issues, the problem is not changing your partner but it’s in changing your attitude and learning something that will help you improve your relationship and that’s what we are here to do. If divorce is the solution, why is it that there are so many people who have gone through multiple divorces? So the solution is in answering this question. And answering this simple question will require you answer some other question that we will ask you in this article. Marriage to me is like a journey and before you embark on any journey, you need to be prepared. This article will be invaluable to single girls/guys, and it will be a guide to the already married to make a shift in their relationship and make it passionate again. So what are the questions?
(1). Are you ready to offend your family and friends because of your spouse? Being single is quite an exciting stage of life, their some bonds we keep during this stage of life that we need to break and this is one of them. And breaking these bonds will seem to be painful in the short term but in long term you will be glad you did. If you get married, you will need to spend time with your spouse more than you do with your family and friends. Our family is like a load and our marriage is the same and until you let go of the family loads, you won’t be able to carry that of your marriage, am not suggesting you abandon your family members when you are married.
(2). Are you ready to lose your privacy to your spouse? If you think you need to keep privacy and yet you want a passionate relationship, you have to think again. Your spouse must get involved in your privacy, those things you consider sacred things of your life. Some people get angry when their spouse touch their phone or pick their calls, for Christ sake you are soul mates not room mates. They may even cross the line you draw. And if you are not ready to lose your privacy, you are not ready for marriage.
(3). Are you ready to make some else number one in your life? If you are the kind of person that does not let peoples opinion in your stand then you are not ready for marriage. If you can’t place your spouse need above yours, don’t get married.
(4). Are you ready to fight another person’s battle? There are some battles your spouse is coming in with you better get ready for it. You have to be able to protect your spouse.
(5). Are you ready for “the better or worse question? Some people have so many beliefs about this, so have gone to the extent of not including it in their marriage vows. No matter what you believe about this ( I do respect your point of view) the truth be told there are so many unanticipated and inevitable challenges that you will meet on this journey called marriage, some are financial challenges, emotional challenges, health challenges, etc and if you are not ready for them, you may walk out when your spouse needs you most. And don’t forget challenges help us to strive and grow. And please never marry because of your partners possessions.
(6). Are you ready to moderate your movement? Am an amateur when it comes to bible I don’t have any degree in it but am certain that in Genesis 33:13 you may read it later, it said Jacob slowed his movement because of his family, so if you’re not ready to moderate your movement because of your spouse, don’t get married please. Guys are most guilty of this one; they will like to hangout and drink some beer before going home.
(7). Are you ready to deal with your spouse weak point? I don’t believe there is any perfect human under this earth; at least I have not seen any. If you help each other, you will grow together and create a passionate relationship that others will look on to.
