Things To Check Out For Before Walking Down The Aisle!

1. Vision – Marry someone that believes strongly in your vision. It will inspire you and help the two of you bond together in an unusual way.

2. Mutual respect – Does the person respect you, your opinion and family? Do you feel free when you are with the person or you always have to pretend whenever you are together? Does he/she abuse you physically or emotionally? Is the person proud of you when you are in the company of others? A marriage that has no mutual respect has a high tendency to break-up.

3. Friendship – When you marry your friend, chances are that you will enjoy living together as partner. When you and your close friend quarrel, you are quick to resolve it. That is how it should be also in marriage.

4. Comparison – Never compare your husband with your father or ex. Same way, never compare your wife with your mother or sister. They are two different people. when
you start comparing your partner or partner to-be with someone else, you cannot be happy in such marriage. Whatever qualities you desire, go for someone who possess it.

5. Manage your differences – Most times people want to marry someone like them. But most times, opposites attract. In any way, you should be able to compliment
each other.

6. Mutual understanding
Your partner have different background, hence, both of you will see things differently. Be willing to shift ground and your partner must be willing to do same.
If your partner truly loves you, he will not want to always have his way. Be willing to learn his language, favourite game, eat his/her kind of food, dress in a way that appeal to his/her fantasy etc. If your partner to-be always want to have his/her way in every discussion, watch it!

7. Truth and open communication

8. Genuine love – Can the person stay with you in bad times? Does he/she love you for who you are or just because of s*x, money or selfish purpose? Do you enjoy his/her company? Does he/she forgive when offended?

9. Testimony
What do other people feel or say about him/her? Do your spiritual leaders or parent approve of him/her. When in love, there are many things our eyes might be blind to, others would see them clearly.

10. God factor
Is the relationship based on God’s principles or selfish motive? Does your spirit agree with him or her? Have you consulted God who is the author of marriage? If your marriage is good without God, it will be best with Him.
