CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY...

First, we should make sure that we are ready to marry. We must have enough maturity to look beyond the here and now and be able to commit ourselves to joining with this one person for the rest of our lives.

We must also recognize that marriage requires sacrifice and selflessness. Before marrying, a couple should study the roles and duties of a husband and wife (Ephesians 5:22-31; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Colossians 3:18-19; Titus 2:1-5; 1 Peter 3:1-7).

A couple should make sure they know each other for a sufficient amount of time before discussing marriage.
They should watch how the other person reacts to different situations, how he behaves around his family and friends, and what kind of people she spends time with.
A person's behavior is greatly influenced by those he keeps company with (1 Corinthians 15:33).

They should agree on issues such as morality, finances, values, children, church attendance and involvement, relationships with in-laws, and employment. These are areas of potential conflict in marriage and should be carefully considered beforehand.

Finally, any couple considering marriage should first go to premarital counseling with their pastor or another trained Christian counselor. Here they will learn valuable tools for building their marriage on a foundation of faith in Christ, and they will also learn how to deal with inevitable conflicts. After all these criteria have been met, the couple is ready to prayerfully decide if they desire to be joined together in marriage.

If we are earnestly seeking the will of God, He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

LET US PRAY
I AGREED WITH YOU IN THE SPIRIT, YOU WILL NOT MISS IT MARITALLY IN JESUS NAME.
