(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.
