Sister's Gist


                                            NOW THAT YOU ARE MARRIED…
Now that you are married, a successful marriage is possible in a time where divorce rate is high. Longevity, strife free and fruitful marriage is very possible. There are two basic things involved when it   comes to marriage; either the marriage works or does not work.
For every successful marriage, there are basic principles that the couple has applied and for the unsuccessful marriages, there are obviously principles that were never applied or considered.
Marriage could be likened to a building, the principles of a building relates in marriage as well.  All buildings are products of knowledge and understanding, a building that will accommodate people must be well maintained, renovated and cared for if you do not want to loose it. And so is marriage. It is not just enough to have a marriage, if you abandon it shortly after your wedding, then you are likely to loose it.
For every successful marriage, there are some basic wisdom and principles to put in practice;
NEVER ABANDON GOD
Marriage is a threefold cord. God is the third cord that binds the two together. Your connection with God determines the quality of life that flows in your marriage. Do not loose your prayer life, even if you do not have one, this is the best time to build one. Study the word of God and fellowship with God’s  people.

NEVER ABANDON YOUR SPOUSE
De-prioritizing your spouse is a very dangerous thing to do. Only God should come first and then your spouse. Never put things such s career not even your children before your spouse. Never take your spouse for granted and do not talk to your spouse without regard. Abandoning your spouse means the death of your romance-not necessarily sex.
BE KIND AND CONSIDERATE
In marriage you ought to make some adjustments or change in consideration of your spouse. Love your spouse. Be submissive as a wife. Learn to forgive and be kind.
