ARE YOU PREPARED?

So you want to be Married too? but are you prepared?

Have you heard that popular ideology that if one must marry and have it peaceful and productive, one must prepare?

I’m sure quite so many, if not all, who have heard this idea, must have tried to prepare in one way or the other (ESPECIALLY BY TESTING): to know about the opposite gender, to know certain biological and emotional uniqueness about the opposite gender, to be in a relationship long enough in order to know the person and test certain things, etc

Let’s not go abstractly too deep/far, to say that, in practice, the above paragraphs proves the other way. In fact, those who got to know about a woman EARLIER THAN THEY NEED TO eventually knew a woman by physical touching…you get ba?

Now, this is not just about marriage, it’s about the whole of life. There are sure certain things that we must experience to be prepared for any future context. But if I am a father now already, exactly what am I preparing for again in future? Nothing! or disaster

The actual progression is that I am a young man as I ought to be now, by God — which will prepare me to be the father for tomorrow. Testing tomorrow’s food today is what a great man called “forbidden fruit”. For example, as a young man I need to be financially intelligent and follow paths of destiny. If I use this time to get preoccupied with thoughts of how I will hold my wife when we’re alone…hmm. When that time comes, the suffering we will all be under will not even allow the holding come true. You get it eh?

So focus on what God is doing in the current phase of your life. That is the strength and preparation you need for the next phase of your life. Follow God precept by precept.
