Marriage & Dating Gist:

*Will Marriage Solve All Your Problems?*

God created love and has placed the desire to be loved unconditionally in each of our hearts . Marriage is a natural overflow of that desire.  Yet within this scared and natural pursuit of marriage. It's easy to fall into the lie that finding a spouse will be the ultimate road to happiness and great satisfaction. That all problems , fears , and deficit will fade away in the presence of true love . it's isn't true in the world of marriage.

No perfect marriage , relying on your partner to fulfill your insatiable needs is a recipe for disaster because no human being has the capacity to offer you what is needed for true value and self worth.

*Don't marry for the following reasons or you will blame yourself.*

✓ Don't marry because for sex you won't be satisfied, if you have high sexual it's better to go for therapy than to think Marriage is the solution.

✓ Don't marry because everyone is getting married, marry because you have found someone destined by God

✓ Don't marry because you want to exploit your partner financially. You will end up becoming a slave in marriage, men who run after wealthy women end up as slaves, their expectations are never met and they blame themselves

✓ Don't marry because your family members are pushing you to marry . Don't let anyone push you into wrong marriage

✓ Don't marry because you think you should get married or you watched a movie scene and you are inspired with the romantic affairs and you want to feel it as well. You will be disappointed because 70% of nigerian men are not romantic and won't tend to your feelings .

✓ Don't marry because you love someone and you have to confirm whether he loves you back . It's possible to get married to someone who doesn't love you.

✓ Don't marry if you are financially bouyant or your income is not enough to care for yourself, don't let any lady push you into marriage as a result of desperation. At the end of the day , she will blame you for everything. Think twice

✓ Don't marry out of ignorance, if you don't know your partner too well. So many things you will find out in marriage and will be difficult for you to bear ... Find out more about him or her , so you don't make serious mistakes

✓ Don't Marry out of pity , don't marry anyone you feel pity for . The marriage won't last .

✓ Don't marry because you sees your partner as an opportunity to cling on to( eg. You come across a beautiful lady , and you got enticed and then decided to rush marriage without understanding her motive . You will blame yourself

*Marry because* 👇

✓ Marry because you are in love and you are convinced

✓ Marry because you have prayed and God has blessed your Union

The heart breaking thing in life is placing your happiness in hands of human beings.
Marriage doesn't guarantee  happiness, there will ups and downs, disappointment, conflicts and so on .... Human being can never make you happy. Only God can .

Seek Gods face while making choice of partner.

Marriage Series 7: What Does The Bible Say About Divorce and Remarriage?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE? First of all, no matter what view one takes on the issue of divorce, it is important to remember Malachi 2:16, “I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel.” According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6). God realizes, though, that, since marriages involve two sinful human beings, divorces are going to occur.

Devotional: Life Matters Discuss, Series 7

What we think shapes who we are. You might read that and think I’m being an overly dramatic preacher using hyperbole to get your attention. But this is no exaggeration. Our lives do follow the direction of our thoughts. The better we grasp that truth, the better equipped we’ll be to change the trajectory of our lives. But don’t take my word for it. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. So throughout this Bible Plan, we’ll unpack both Scripture and what we’ve learned from scientific research. Here’s a brief example of both: In Philippians 4:8–9, the apostle Paul writes, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is exce...
