People have different reasons for getting married. Some see marriage as a way to increase family income, such as that celebration that allows them to have the right to family property, and others who are eager to travel abroad are getting married because many embassies require a marriage certificate. In addition, many marry in search of happiness and companionship. No matter what motivation you have, I tell you that marriage is for those who are upright and mature. To have a successful marriage, you must prepare and develop in these areas: intellectual, physical, financial, social, and spiritual.
AREA 1 Intellectual preparation: If you are not informed, you are deformed. Bear in mind that marriage constitutes the smallest unit in the nation and provides the necessary environment to determine the behavior and quality of the next generation. Communication is very necessary in your union. The lack of it weakens love and makes living with your spouse unpleasant. Intellectual knowledge can be obtained from the Bible, good books, and magazines. Additionally, marriage seminars, symposia, relationship lectures, visits to marriage counselors, talks with mature and God-fearing couples are additional ways to gain intellectual knowledge about marriage. The success of your marriage relationship is in your hands. You will have matured in your mind and heart to be able to handle the situations that arise in marriage effectively. Know how to handle your emotions and feelings. It grows to climb!
AREA 2 Physical preparation: Taking care of yourself is one of your duties. Packaging is very important because people address you the way you present yourself. You must know how to behave and behave. At this point, defining your self-concept, which is the totality of your self-image, self-esteem, and ideal self, helps you focus on your real self. As a woman, take good care of your hair, observe personal hygiene and be respectful to people. People are looking at you, dress appropriately; You don’t have to show your private part to attract a partner. People respect you and want to associate with you when they see that you have a good sense of dress. As a man, be neat, humane, and mature. You don’t have to wear expensive clothes to look good, but taking care of what little you have and wearing them with dignity makes you a person of good repute.
AREA 3 Financial Preparation: The burden of financial preparation no longer rests solely on the man in this age. If you are a woman, try to build a good financial position for yourself so that you do not become a burden on your spouse, but a helpmeet. Every man should be financially stable before marriage. It is foolish to marry a woman for her money. Learn to spend money wisely. Being financially ready for marriage does not mean that you have to have all the money in the world. Have worthwhile investments. Money is a tool that helps you meet your needs, so it is essential like oxygen for you to enjoy a beautiful life.
AREA 4 Social preparation: Refers to the need to interact and network with others. You are not an island. You need the help of others and you can also offer your help. Create synergies and friendships that will improve your life. Be outgoing and respectful. Care for people.
AREA 5 Spiritual Preparation: Every human being has a spirit. Developing your spiritual abilities enhances you to listen to your intuition, be able to make the right decision at the right time, and stick with it. Respect divinity and humanity.
Preparation in these areas positions you for success in the marital relationship. Your marriage must be successful if you pay now to play later. You don’t have to be married to start preparing. It is now that you are not in this that you have the best opportunity to perfect yourself and become marriageable. Never forget that your marital circumstances depend on your marital ability.
