Marriage is God's idea, not man's, not the devil's. The first institution established divinely for relationship companionship, and fellowship. From the womb to the tomb, you need somebody in your life to help you. Since you don't get to choose the to nurture you in the womb, or the person that lowers your body into the tomb, count it a great privilege then that you can choose your life partner; preferably by God's guidance. Marriage is a profound decision that must not be based on mere emotional feelings. You need God's help to get it right once, and, for all. Not every Christian is good for you as a spouse. Even when you have been guided, and, guarded by the Lord into making the right choice, THE MARRIAGE CHAPTERS will begin to unfold from the day you say "I do".
Marriage takes more than age. You need grace for the capacity, the tenacity, and the intensity, irrespective of the city you live in. According to Ron.L.Hubbard: "the willingness to take responsibility for somebody other than yourself is at the root of every successful marriage." It is no longer about you as a person, but us as a team! "Marriage must be a safe place for hearts to walk around naked". Vulnerability is expected, and encouraged in any marriage that will last. No one is permitted to boast, and, it's a shame, because you are no longer two according to the Author of marriage Himself, but one. Don't forget you are awarded the certificate before your course begins in marriage, and, the day of completion is "until death do you part". Meanwhile, there are tests and testimonies, trials and triumphs, burdens and blessings, pains and gains in the chapters of every marriage. How do we ensure these things don't 'put asunder" as we have been commanded by the Author Himself? This is a book of many, and, it is not a coincidence at all. Please, read the pages thoroughly, don't flip through. I have not written this book as an expert, but as a married man that is graced to be happy in a marriage close to three decades to the glory of God. I have learnt some remarkable lessons maritally, and I can conclude that marriage is a serious business that needs your attention and devotion. You have the choice to make yours a burden, or a blessing.
