1 Thessalonians 5verse21: ‘Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.’
Dearly beloved, I am super excited about this series of teachings because I believe that it will be a great blessing to all and sundry! God’s intention for us is to be free and also walk in the fullness of his plans for our lives and this covers our marital life too. With this kind of information and knowledge at someone’s disposal, one is set to walk in dominion maritally. I am sure this will be your testimony in Jesus name amen. So, once again I will be shading more light on the kind of questions you are to ask before you say I do. So off we go!
RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK:
26. Is there something about the relationship I am choosing to overlook because it’s awkward? This is another important question for you to ask before you say I do. Are you willing to address areas of concern or hesitation? Addressing uncomfortable issues head-on, although challenging, can save you from future complications! So my candid advice to you is to be courageous enough to face those things now! Jos1v6, 7: Rom8v15.
27. Are you ready to bare your soul to this person? If you will be successful in your marriage, you need to open up to your partner! So how ready are you to share your life, space, fears, dreams, and years with this person? This is another important criterion to consider in your choice of a life partner. Are you ready to lift the curtain completely revealing your true self? Gen2v24 -25. The answers that you give to these questions will determine if your choice of life partner is right or wrong!
28. How is their family? Do they feel like family to you already? Do you want to spend time with them? Do they also want to spend time with you? Or do you have any issues with their family? My dear friends, this line of questioning is very important as it will also help you in knowing what your response will be. Although I know it’s the person, you are really interested in but you got to also know that he is from a particular family. And their acceptance or rejection also has a say in your response. So make sure that you carefully consider all these issues. Jehovah will give you further understanding in Jesus name amen. Pro4v5, 7.
29. Can you communicate your thoughts and feelings freely? Communication is an important area of any relationship and your ability to freely communicate will also determine your final response to whether saying yes or no. It has also been discovered that open communication fosters a deep understanding and intimacy between the partners. So make efforts to see that this area is also well sorted before you say I do. Col4v6.
30. Can you accept your partner exactly as they are? Are you willing to accept their flaws, imperfections, and frailties? The ability to accept each other’s flaws is crucial in your ability to walk together. Any form of challenge or difficulty in this area could be an indication of not being able to walk together effectively. So make sure you check these things out very well. Col3v13-14.
My dear friends, these are just some of the questions that you need to be willing to ask yourself before you say I do. I honestly believe that these nuggets and truths will provide wisdom and direction, especially for those who are seeking meaningful relationships! May Jehovah exceed all your expectations in Jesus name amen.
