Singles, Boo and Bae alike, #ReadRestRelaxAndReflect on these “wise words” before you walk down the aisle! Stay blessed!
1)Good evening, tweeps! I count it an honour and privilege to be a guest on this edition of #SinglesDate. Thanks @relcapsules for the invite
2)Am going to be sharing with the Singles in the house but uncles, aunties, friends and parents that love them are also welcome #SinglesDate
3)You might just be the one to remind them of these “wise words” in time of confusion and doubt b4 the D-Day #SinglesDate
4. Firstly, we need to understand that courtship comes before taking the final plunge(marriage) #SinglesDate
5)It is that period when a man and a woman gets to know each other after they have agreed to start a relationship leading to marriage #SinglesDate
6)So dear Bae & Boo, pay attention to the following wise words if indeed you plan to walk down the aisle #SinglesDate
7)Time is an asset to any relationship especially marriage. So take your time. Don’t rush. #SinglesDate
8)A person’s real character has a way of making an appearance overtime #SinglesDate
9)At the same time don’t let the courtship be overlong except either of you is still in school or travelled #SinglesDate
10)It’s an opportunity to get to know each other better via communication. Ask questions about his beliefs/background/goals etc #SinglesDate
11)Read between the lines. Seek to understand him/her. It’s a moment of truth. Avoid every form of deception #SinglesDate
12)If there is anything in your past he/she needs to know, divulge it earlier on in the relationship #SinglesDate
13)Give him or her the benefit of doubt. Don’t wait till the marriage date is set before dropping your bombshell #SinglesDate
14)Knowing fully well he/she might not have the nerve to call off the wedding! You have already laid a wrong foundation for your home #SinglesDate
15)Do your background check. The place of the Holy Spirit can’t be overemphasized here. He will reveal things about your partner to you #SinglesDate
16)In getting to know each other, avoid ‘knowing’ each others’ bodies. Sex is a no no! #SinglesDate
17)Premarital sex erodes trust, breeds suspicion and brings guilt. Avoid it by all means. #SinglesDate
18)The sexual urge is VERY strong and can defy the best of intentions so avoid being alone in secluded places for too long #SinglesDate
19)Don’t be blinded with lust! Fornication blinds you from seeing the red flags in your relationship #SinglesDate
20)Yes, love is great but definitely not blind! Go in with your eyes wide open! Love is more than just a feeling! #SinglesDate
21)Love is a commitment; a decision! Your intended is not perfect and neither are you. #SinglesDate
22)He/she is coming with a lot of baggage into the marriage relationship, are you willing to unpack with him/her? #SinglesDate 23)Learn each others’ Love Languages. Learn what makes he/she ticks. Don’t overlook what you can’t tolerate hoping to change him/her #SinglesDate 24)As a Single, it’s essential to discover your purpose and possibly doing something in that line before getting engaged #SinglesDate 25)LRT Why? It helps both of you to know right early if you are going in the same direction in life. Can two walk together except they agree? #SinglesDate 26)Do you have your parents’ blessing? If you don’t, please soft pedal. Find out the bone of contention. #SinglesDate 27)Involve your pastors or elders in your family. Don’t let it be said that you disregarded their opinion #SunglesDate 28)Look into their grievances and reservations. Allay their fears! Get their blessings! #SinglesDate 30)Issues like genotypes, blood groups, salaries, where to stay etc should be discussed and a compromise reached #SinglesDate 31)For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife! Marriage is for a MAN and a WOMAN! #SinglesDate 32)Is he a ‘Mummy’s Boy’? I once heard of a husband that had to visit his mum every evening after work to take his dinner before coming home. #SinglesDate 33)Is she a ‘Daddy’s Girl’? She has to run everything by her Dad before she makes her decisions? #SinglesDate 34)Adam was alone in the garden of Eden but not lonely! Check yourself, are you in the relationship ‘cos of loneliness? #SinglesDate 35)Deliberately cultivate friendship with your intended during courtship. Soulmates aren’t born but made! #SinglesDate 36)Developing friendship relationship is an important factor to a long and lasting relationship in marriage #SinglesDate 37)I guess before you propose or you accepted his proposal as the case might be, you must have been convinced #SinglesDate 38)Before you walk down the aisle is the time to prove these proposed marriage convictions #SinglesDate 39)By the time you are finally getting married, having taken the aforementioned ‘wise words’ into consideration… #SinglesDate 40)…you should be sure you have made the right decision by marrying YOUR FRIEND if not your best friend! #SinglesDate 41)Investing all you can into your future marriage is no where comparable to the fuss we make getting prepared for the wedding day! #SinglesDate 42)In summary, if after all these soul searching, you are still very uneasy or you feel pressured into the courtship, please get out! #SinglesDate 43)Have you not heard? A broken courtship is preferable to a broken marriage or home! Be courageous to release your intended #SinglesDate 44)Then learn ‘HOW NOT TO BREAK DOWN AFTER A BREAK-UP’ – Read here (BLOG POST) 45)But if your relationship passed these ‘litmus tests’, go ahead trusting God to uphold you and your fiance(e). God’s got your backs! #SinglesDate 46)Wishing you all the best in your relationships! You will not miss it! You will not miss out! Your marital destiny is secured! #SinglesDate 47)Once again, I say thank you to @relcapsules for inviting me. In the multitude of counsels, there is wisdom
29)Sort this out anyway you can else you may be setting yourself up for untold anguish in the future @SinglesDate
