Marriage is a beautiful thing. There are couples you see and you just love them. Their union can spark up something in you to want to get married. I guess maybe this is why most people want to get married. There's more to marriage than meets the eyes, so if your reason for getting married is because you see some couple appearing like they have everything going for them, I'm sorry, but that is too shortsighted, by now you should have known (if you are married), that there is much more to it.
Marriage
is a beautiful thing. My cousin has been in many relationships - of
course this is normal for young people; May be we are trying out which is
which; who suits me; who can be the other part of me that I crave for; who
understands me; who can love me unconditionally; etc. These are possible
questions we might ask during relationships. In as much as not every
relationship leads to marriage, every relationship should be defined. My cousin
at some point would come on SM (social media) and lament how his heart was
broken and how his love was trampled. Personally, I felt for him, he's blood
you know? Well, it went on till one day he met someone who changed him for
good. The first time, I saw them together was at his sister's traditional wedding.
Prior to this time he had boasted so much about how she met his emotional
needs, (this could be or is another reason for getting married). I saw his glow
whenever they were together. She really filled a space deep inside of him.
The
better part of this experience is the fact that they met on social media and it
is one beautiful story as it is one of the very few places people never believe
people could meet and talk about marriage and actually get it done. Most people
meet on SM for what it is, social activities but this one has a touch of
divinity on it. On the 10th of February, they sealed their union. My cousin
danced like he had won a lottery! Oh the joy on his face! No wonder the
scriptures said, "he that finds a wife, finds a good thing". I saw it
in this relationship. The other phase of this union is just started you know?
They have moved from close friends to lovers and then to "man and
woman". The real deal is now.
To
everyone out there, whatever your reason maybe for getting married or planning
or wanting to get married, always take cognizance of the fact that marriage is
a beautiful thing. Remember also that marriage requires proper preparation
before getting involved. Are you ready to give up yourself for him or her? Are you
going to be the one to lay down your pride to curtail certain hidden excesses?
Before you get married next Saturday, ask yourself, "Why do I want to get
married?" so that you will have a well-defined marriage. I'm no marriage
counselor but from me to you, getting your head ready by asking the right
questions while in the relationship before you get married is very vital.
Because, when you finally get into the marriage ship asking those questions you
failed to ask will be too late to ask in the marriage. The marriage ship is one
ship that will never dock at any shore except at death's port.
HAPPY MARRIED LIFE NONSO & UGO |
I
dedicate this blog to everyone who has had his or her heart broken and feels
there no one to love them the way they are, most especially the guys who lose
good girls because they were broke and to the girls who would not lose their
virginity or pride because the man wants to test you. Broh, you will have money
and meet the lady who doesn't care about your financial status before saying
"I do". And Darling you will met the man who will wait till the
wedding night to uncover your hidden treasure in earthen vessels.
God bless
you!
