BIBLE TEXT:-(Malachi 2:16a)

I hate divorce,

Marriage i once read, is the smallest handcuff that can be used to arrest a man. So choose your prison mate wisely.*

The journey of marriage is what know one can ever image how the ending can look from afar. It comes with different surprise and challenges everyday. I was watching one home made movie few years ago. One of our great and famous Nollywood actor Emeka Ike quote in a movie that:-

Marriage is liken to having different channels on a cable but restricted to watch on one channel

Here is another definition to what marriage is:-

MARRIAGE is like a shoe. When you wear oversize be ready to
drag it along through out life, and when you wear under-size be
ready to feel the pains through out life.

" One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is.

That is why I thought it necessary to write you this letter.

God hate divorce (Malachi 2:16a)

Dear Singles

When you are ready to buy your own shoe please take note of
these three things:-

Physical appearance:- Do not look for the beautiful once, the nice
once or the cheap once. Look for the one that is your size. Not every handsome, wealthy or intelligent guy is for you, not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns with your values and belief, the one who you meet at
your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife.

Never base your judgement about who to marry on physical appearance, it can not hold marriage. I know many slay queen who are beautiful and pretty but without know element of mother or wife in them

Position:- All sizes of shoes are not placed in the same place.
There is a place for court shoes, laced up shoes, sport footwear,
snickers etc. We have Children sizes, young people's sizes and
the adult sizes. Know where to get your own shoe. Your size cannot be everywhere my brother, your type cannot be everywhere my sister. You cannot be a Christian, and be looking for a wife material at a club. Your wife or husband can't just be everywhere.
Stick to your values and therein you shall find someone like you,
but when your values are not defined anyone can just match
you. Discover yourself and define your values

Be precise, know what you what in a lady or as a husband. Let there be compatibility in you both, so as to help in the journey of marriage during the rough time.

Perception:- In this kind of shoe purchasing enterprise, you are
not permitted to try the shoe before you buy. This is why it is
important to seek guidance and counseling, from people who
have bought shoes before or are into the business of directing
people to the right shoes (Pastors and Relationship coaches).
And most importantly to avoid much time wasting time, simply
consult the shoe manufacturer to tell you your size (God Almighty).
"You do not prepare for wedding, you prepare for marriage."

Ladies these days get so motivated when they attend wedding and they will quickly want to say yes to that guy. Wait!!! It is not just the wedding oh. The wedding is just one day.

Carry God along in your marriage. Let him be the center man in every relationship. (Hebrews 12:2)

After the wedding WHAT NEXT?

Finally, it is not something you rush to the market and just pick
a shoe because you like or can purchase it.

Remember if you rush in, there is every tendency that you will rush out

Ask questions

-Where is this shoe made from? (Background)

-What's the size (Values)

-How much (His/Her interest)

-How long will it last (His/Her Character)

-Who made it? (Is she/He of the same faith This is compatibility)

-Will it match me? (This is whether he/she love you and will
accept you the way you are)

Dear one, remember many are dragging their foot and they
would hardly reach their destinies, many are feeling endless pains and wish they could pull off the shoes but no way!!! I have seen people with beautiful shoes and when they show you their foot, you will see scars. Beloved, it is not about the physical, it is the size, you can't
know the size from afar so come close, build a relationship first
but remember 'you are not permitted to try it before you buy it'.
And for those who have purchased the wrong shoes, you can still make it your size again if you'd consult the manufacturer
and let Him have His way in your marriage.

{Hebrews 13:4}

God bless us all. Resteem this post for all singles, you might be touching someone's life with the right word.
