Couples must analyze their compatibility before tying the knot. A significant turning point in anyone’s life is marriage.
There are many people that got married only because of love but are now regretting that decision.
The following are 10 factors to consider before getting marriage.
COMMUNICATION:
Healthy communication requires a happy marriage. Communication plays a vital role in overcoming disagreements, misunderstanding, and enhancing relationships between couples.
Couples must speak efficiently, honestly and freely with one another no matter where one stands in married life.
LOVE:
To show you the importance of love, almost a whole chapter of the Bible was dedicated to that effect.( see I Cor 13)
Love is one of the vital pillars that sustains a marriage but as we all know that one pillar doesn’t sustain or hold a building, other pillars are needed. So, love is the first vital factor to consider.
THE WILL OF GOD:
The will of God is another factor to consider before you marry anyone. The will of God in marriage is simply the person whom God approves for you to marry.
There is nothing like that. But as a child of God, you need to carry God along in your choice of life partner.
COMPARTIBILITY:
Compatibility is defined as when two things are capable of existing together in harmony.
For two people from different backgrounds, upbringing, culture, orientation, experience, education, philosophy etc., to live peacefully and in harmony with each other, they must be compatible.
Spiritual compatibility, Purpose compatibility, Health compatibility and Sex compatibility.
GOOD CHARACTER:
A person’s character is who he or she is and that is what you will live with in marriage.
When someone has a bad character, no matter how much you love the person, my dear you will suffer.
AGREEMENT:
By definition agreement is the state of being of one opinion about something or harmony of opinion, action, or character.
There are issues that a couple needs to be in agreement on if they will navigate the ocean of marriage successfully.
Lack of agreement will lead to conflicts, irreconcilable differences and if these are not managed properly, the continuity of the marriage will be under threat.
SUITABILITY:
suitability means when something is capable, qualified, fit, proper, and appropriate for something.
LIFESTYLE:
Partners must be compatible in terms of lifestyle choices. For example: socializing and hobbies.
BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN:
A child of God is someone that has repented from his sins and surrendered his life to Jesus.
He’s someone that has encountered Christ and by virtue of that encounter, his life changed.
Make your marital journey as easy as possible by getting it right from the beginning.
FAMILY BACKGROUND:
Family background have a significant impact on their personality and beliefs. Understanding each other’s family backgrounds and how they could impact the marriage is essential before getting married.
