Marriage 100 [Practical Series]
Marriage counsel for for newly weds/ young marriages
The best thing that can happen to any society is for the family unit to be successful. The happier marriages we have, the more emotionally stable individuals (children and adults) we'd have in the community, and the stronger we would be as a people. The daily experiences of the two individuals as they live their lives together are meant to knit them into one. They become lost in each other. When others interact with them afterward, they do not see two different individuals, but one person manifested in two people. I pray that every sincere youth will have this glorious experience.
If you are about to get married, take time to consider carefully what you are getting into. Marriage is not about the legality of sex, it is not about social status, it is not just about the innermost desire to be loved and to love, rather, marriage is an event that can change everything about you. It can make your future glorious and it can mar all you ever achieved.
If you are already married, you must have realized how difficult it is to change another individual and how often it is that we discover new things about ourselves and our spouses that we never knew existed. You might be having difficulties or experiencing bliss but are you obvious of your personal role in it all and how the whole experience is changing who you are? May you succeed in your marriage.
