Marriage is a gift from God and one of the wonderful things I’ve seen some of the blessed married couples having. I’ve also heard a lot of people saying marriage is trouble, stress and all other negative words. This got me thinking why is that some couples are making it. Makokoba SDA church has a couple that is in 48 years of marriage now. When I listened to them telling their story of how they’ve made it that far, I realised our generation needs to hear this and I just picked up a few points. These are some of them.
Marriage Advice
- Never marry someone you can’t play with because marriage is not a military ground.
- If ever you had to choose one of the Bs – Booty, Boobs, or Brain choose the Brain.
- Just because a person keeps you around doesn’t mean they love you; remember, people, buy cats just to get rid of rats.
- Some people will come into your life just to teach you how to let go. Embrace them.
- 95% of women don’t marry who they love, they marry who is ready to settle.
- A happy man marries the girl he loves, but a happier man loves the girl he marries.
- You don’t always have to tell your side of the story. Eventually, time will.
- Stop letting people who do so little for you, control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions.
- Marry a guy who can speak good words to you, even though he is mad at you The best of a partner is when he is angry, he won’t try to insult you because he has that much respect for you and doesn’t want to lose you in a simple argument.
- Love is when your husband/boyfriend catches you with another man naked and still says “Honey, dress up, let’s go home”. Death is when you follow him.
- The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. So treat yourself like royalty.
- NEVER ever ignore the red flags. The red flags you ignore trying to see the good in people WILL cost you later.
- Never let anyone walk through your mind with their dirty feet.
