Wisdom For Marriage - Uju Onyechere

Uju Onyechere shared the following link on the group wall of Youth Empowerment And Remodeling School [YEARS] about what he learnt from his mentor, Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh. A candid advice on marriage:
"When you want to marry, don't marry for who you are now. See who you will be in future and marry who will fit you then." - Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh
The Holy Book says: "...it is not good for a man to be alone; I will make him a helpmeet. Your tomorrow starts today. Your future starts today. The future you dream of will be determined by the actions you take today. If you are a dreamer like me, it means you must have visualized what your future will look like - and of course that future includes your spouse and children.

What you are now will not be what you will be in the next five years, ten or twenty years to come. Planning is very important here. That planning should include your spouse. So compatibility is important. Incompatibility in marriage is a magic wand that could retard or arrest creative imagination and stunt intellectual development - and this could be deadly. Charles Spurgeon said: "To marry a woman for her looks is like eating a bird for its songs. Since you do not marry her for her looks but to have as a companion and helpmeet, observe the formation of her mind as well as the features of her face."

"Happy marriages are rarely the product of chance" observed Rev. O. Butherfield. "They are architectural in that they are intelligently and deliberately planned." I have heard some say there is a perfect wife or husband and i say if either of them is perfect, i would like to see them walk on water! Benjamin Tillet warns: "God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman and God helps him more if he finds her!" Hmmm. There is nothing like head or tail, senior or junior in marriage. I agree completely with Louis Anspacher: "marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence is mutual and the obligation recipocal."

In the words of D.L. Moody "Success in marriage consists not only in finding the right mate but also in being the right mate". Mack Timberlake adds: "if you want to have a happy marriage, become your mate's best friend." In his book "Communication, Sex and Money", Edwin Louis Cole said: "friendship, not romance holds a marriage together."
Beloved, you must first know where you are going to, which makes it possible for you to know who best to accompany you on that journey successfully. 
Dear Lord, please bless all marriages and grant couples the patience to enjoy the sweetness therein in Jesus Name.
