CHOOSING A LIFE PARTNER by Gift Jonah

This is one of the most crucial decision singles make that will most likely determine the course of their future. The decision of who to marry either make you or break you. It is not enough to say oh she is a very nice girl or oh he is caring and nice. I hear some ladies say though he doesn’t go to church but he is nice. Lol.
So many things come to play when considering someone to be your spouse. It is crucial to look out for Character, Values, Potentials and even though physical appearance should be secondary, it is very important because trust me as a guy, you won’t want to come home from a hard day’s job only to be welcomed home by a woman who doesn’t look appealing to you physically.

Today I just want to share briefly on some things you should look at for when it’s time to make that life changing decision that has potentials to ultimately change your life positively or negatively.

Character : Character is everything. Just like attitude, our character defines us and says alot about our person. Get to know the person’s character and his background. When I mean background, I mean his/her educational background, health condition, Spiritual background etc.

Prayer : I need not emphasis on the importance of prayer in taking a decision like this. Prayer helps the operation of your inner eyes.

Put more priority on conviction than feelings : Sometimes our feelings can be deceptive so ensure you do not confuse it for conviction. Your feelings can mislead you to saying YES to the wrong person.

When convinced, get confirmation from family, pastor or talk to a counselor.

Prepare to make adjustment if there are significant differences i.e Cultural difference, Age difference, personality difference as well as educational difference.

On Thursday, I will share with you 10 brand of men you should never marry. I’m sure you won’t want to miss that.

Have a fantastic week.
