Who should you marry?

1. A Believer. As a Believer, You Must Marry A Born Again Christian John 3:3. A believer should marry a believer. An unbeliever should marry an unbeliever.

There is nobody that can love you in the true sense if the person has not genuinely given his/her life to Jesus. Your life could be at risk if you marry such a person

2. He/She Must Be Of The Opposite Sex. Gay Marriage Is From The Pit Of Hell. The First Marriage Was Between A Man And A Woman Named ADAM And Eve, Not Between ADAM And Steve.
3. He/She Must Be The Will Of God For You- Let God Lead You Before You Start A Relationship. Do not Lean On Your Own Understanding. Proverbs 19:14, Romans 8:14

One of the major ways to determine God’s will in marriage is through prayers. {Matt 26:41, 1 Thess 5:17} As soon as you are born again and getting mature for marriage, begin to pray
regularly for God to guide you. Do not take any step until you have prayed. The person proposing to you may be the most caring person you have ever seen but may also be an agent of
the devil sent to destroy your great destiny. God will guide you by his favour to the right partner if you act in obedience without gambling, or hustling on beauty, wealth, status, social or racial
dispositions.

4. He/She Must Be Someone Who Accept Your Family: Anyone who claims to love you must accommodate the family you come from. It will be foolish of you to continue in courtship with someone who hates your family members. If he / she cannot
   extend the love he or she has for you to your family, then the acclaimed love is deceptive.
5. He or She Must Be Someone Who Is Committed To The Word Of God Always And Do The Word Of God Not Just A Reader.
   He/She Must Be Someone Who Sees The Bible As The Final Authority

Stay away fromsomeone who flagrantly disregards God’s Word. Someone who smokes,drinks and/or commits immorality should not be considered at all formarriage. A Christian lady went ahead to marry a womanizer and alcoholicagainst my advice. She now regrets her decision because there have notbeen peace and joy in their marriage since they got married.

Marry a child ofGod! Don’t allow wrong people into your life if your dream is to be joyfully married. Never also go into marriage with the hope of changing your partner’s bad habits after wedding. Marriage may never change bad habits.

6. He/She Must Be Someone You Are In Agreement With:
   You must complement and not contradict each other. If the relationship cannot give you peacenow because of your constant disagreements, it certainly cannot offer you one after your wedding. God cannot give you someone who will cause you high blood pressure or hypertension in marriage. It is better to break up a relationship with the wrong person than to head for disaster and tragedy in marriage. A broken courtship is better than a broken marriage.
7. He/She Must Be A Man Or Woman Of Prayers. He/she prays without ceasing.
8. He/She Must Be A Committed Member Of A Bible Believing Church
9. He/She Must Be Someone Who Has Someone He/She Submits To Like A Pastor/Mentor.
10. He/She Must Be Someone Who Fears God And Lives A Godly Life.
11. He/She Must Be An Adult Not A Minor. He/she is mature physically, emotionally, intellectually, financially, socially and spiritually.
12. You Must Be In Love With Him/Her. Never Force Yourself On Anybody. Getting married to someone who does not love you is the worst thing you can ever allow to happen to you. Forcing yourself on someone who does not love you is like sleeping with a snake.
13. He/She Must Be In Love With You Too. Love is a choice. It is a decision. Don’t force anyone to love you. You may regret it for the rest of your life. If someone you love does not show any sign of interest or commitment after all your efforts to win his/her heart, let him or her go. Until you let go of the wrong person, you cannot find the right one.
14. He/She Must Be Single Not Married Or A Divorcee. 1 Cor 7:10-11.
    God can never go against His word to lead you to marry a married man or woman whose spouse is still alive, as that will lead to polygamy. So any voice you hear instructing you to marry someone who is already married, can never be that of the SPIRIT OF GOD. Don’t obey it.God is not a home breaker. He is not an intruder. What God has joined together, let not man, (prophet, pastor, in-laws, sister, brother) put asunder.
15. He/She Can Be A Christian Widow or Widower. 1 Cor 7:28
16. He/She Can Come From Any Part Of The World. You Can Marry From Any Tribe As Long As He/She Is A Child Of God. Don’t Discriminate.
17. He/She Must Possess The Fruit Of The Spirit. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
18. He/She Must Have A Job Or A Source Of Income.
19. He/She Must Be Someone Who Believes In “No Divorce/No Re-Marriage” Because Marriage Is A Lifetime Commitment.
20. He/She Must Be Someone Who Believes In Your Dreams/Calling & He/she Is Ready To Support You.
21. He/She Must Be Someone Who Believes In SEXUAL PURITY.
    Sleeping with a girl that has not been handed over to you in marriage is robbery and sleeping with a man who is not your husband is prostitution. Put a limit to your intimacy so that you won’t fall into sexual sins. Sex before marriage will expose you to unwanted pregnancy, STDs, HIV/AIDS and turn you to the enemy of God. Many singles have jeopardized the hope of a glorious future by falling into sexual sins. Don’t join them.

May you not make a marital error in Jesus name
