DO YOU HAVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT MARRIAGE?

This is more like a letter even though not in a letter format to every interested party. I came across it and just thought it would be beneficial if I share it with you my beloved readers and supporters. 

Enjoy the read below.

 Babe&Bros, 

Let's talk frank talk!

1. The level of failed or bad marriages should not scare you, it should make you think! Why do some still have it good? What are they doing differently?

2. Conquer negative thoughts about marriage before you say 'I do'. Your predominant thought will define your marital experience.

3. Are you praying for your future spouse? That is the best way to condition them before marriage. Ask God for specifics.

4. Your biggest challenge is that you think you understand marriage. The worse part is that you think you know them. You don't even know yourself!

So pray for everything: you, them, tomorrow, everything.

5. My dear friend, please be honest with yourself: how do you react under pressure? Multiply it by 2 or 3 and predict how much prayer you need about your reactions in marriage.

6. Have you thought about living with someone everyday of your life and keeping it fresh, sweet and exciting? Have you thought about bills and kids? Have you thought about temptations and trials? What about family and in-laws?

7. Your spouse will come with a crusade or perhaps a baggage of relationships you haven't chosen. 'In-law things'. Some would be brothers, sisters, Mother and Father even Uncles and Aunties. My dear, get ready!

8. Money! Are you running broke before pay day running just your own single life?

So what's your financial plan when a spouse and their extended dependents list add to the expenditure list with little or no contribution towards the budget? What are your thoughts about expanding streams of income?

9. Bros, there is just so much of 'I love you' that can manage the relationship. It will come to a time that even if she is not materialistic, 'I love you' alone would mean hunger, bad dressing and an appearance of a husband that the Bible calls 'infidel'. Use your brain as you pray!

10. O baby, I know your drive and success, but trust me, from Bible to Africa, if a man cannot lead you, you aren't supposed to marry, AT ALL! Perhaps, some humility and submission lessons in Sunday school would do you a world of good. 

We will drop the above for easy digestion and continue from where we stopped next week. You are important to us and we are glad, excited, grateful that you stopped by to read this write-up by Mr. Ocholi Okutepa.

OneLove,
