1 Thessalonians 5verse21: ‘Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.’
You are welcome back to this interesting series on the right questions to ask before you say I do. Marriage is a lifetime relationship that requires you to make the necessary preparations and due diligence. This is why I believe that asking the right kind of questions is part of the process of securing a stable and healthy relationship or marriage! I have been sharing with you some of the kinds of questions that you need to ask before you commit yourself to marriage! I trust that you have been blessed by the things I have shared so far and so without much ado, can we look at some other important nuggets?
RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK:
21. Do I feel safe, respected, and valued in this relationship? Safety, respect, and feeling valued are the cornerstones of a healthy relationship. So my dear friends, make sure that these things are in existence in your relationship, or otherwise don’t commit yet. For there is no point rushing into something that you will rush out later. So do yourself this big favor!
22. Am I ready to face the challenges that come with Marriage? Every marriage has its share of challenges and difficult phases. Are you ready emotionally to face these challenges and work through them? This is part of the honest and sincere questions that you need to ask yourself before you commit yourself to marriage. There is hardly anything good that does not have its own challenges, so my admonition to you is to brace yourself up for these challenges because you are an overcomer in Christ. IJn4v4:5v4.
23. Is the person of the same faith as you? Do they share your thoughts and beliefs about God and the faith? You need to know that this is another important question for you to ask yourself before you say I do. So make sure you do the needful in these areas so that you can lie down in peace and not sorrow. 2Cor6v14-16.
24. Have they fully let go of their past romantic relationships or endeavors? Are they ready to leave the past behind? At times some people are not willing to let go of their past, thereby hindering them from moving into their glorious destiny. Let the past be in the past so that you can embrace what God has in store for you. Isa43v18-19; Rev21v5.
25. Am I ready to put this person before myself? True love prioritizes your partner’s needs and happiness over your own. So you need to find out if your friend is other people-minded and not selfish or self-centered. This Is another important criterion to consider in your choice. 1Cor10v24; Philip2v4.
I pray that Jehovah will teach and guide you appropriately in Jesus name amen.
Other Scriptural References: 1Cor13v4-8; 1Pet4v8: Rom8v35-39.
CONFESSION: This is my day of deliverance and liberation! His truth sets me free and also puts me on a higher pedestal in life. Glory be to God for I am better equipped in making the right decision about marriage because of these truths and nuggets! Hallelujah be to Jesus! It’s a new day for me!
