Your Marriage is a Reflection of You

You want to get married, but because of the things you've been hearing that happens in other people's marriage you decide to go into yours with your sword, shield and weapons of warfare drawn against your husband-/wife-to-be.
My advice, don't get married at all. Save yourself from yourself.
Because they said  all sorts of things, generally, about men/women, doesn't mean, particularly, those things are true.
So long as the person you want to marry loves God, all you need do is love God too and every other thing will handle itself.

Besides, your marriage is a reflection of you. Look at the people who are not happy in their marriages. If you look closely, you'll discover that they are the problem. You can not go into marriage with "Me, Myself and I" attitude and expect things to go well. You are not them and so your marriage can't be like theirs. They are them, you are you.

You need only two people to make your marriage work: God and your spouse. You and your spouse can't run it alone. You need the "manufacturers manual", the Bible, and the manufacturer himself to make your marriage work.

God bless you and have fun!
