MARRY UP

in motivation •  7 years ago  (edited)

This month people get to talk a whole lot about love. So, here's some very sound love talk.

I decided to do this for all those who are yet to be married. These are counsels from my heart packaged in a very concise form.

If You're not Yet Married, This is for You

When I use the expression marry up what I mean is that you marry someone who pulls you up.

So, I counsel you to marry up.

It's no news that your association can either raise you or crash you.

Therefore...

Marry someone who can pull you upward, inspire you to go forward and drive you onward in the fulfilment of your destiny

Someone who encourages you to be all God wants you to be

Someone who wants to affect this world somehow with the everlasting good news of God's Love

Marry someone who has respect for your God-given vision

Someone who can remind you that the culture of praying is necessary as a culture

Someone who wants you both to often hold hands and pray together

Marry someone who serves God and naturally inspires you to serve God better than you're doing

Someone who'll encourage you to fast often and study the Word of God as a way of life

Someone who will keep encouraging you to maintain a solid relationship with God

Marry someone who'll ask you questions about what the Scriptures say and want both of you to flip the pages of the Bible in search of the answers

Someone who wants to live their life in sync with the will of God (that is the Word of God)

Marry someone who enjoys the Word of God and the presence of God.

Marry up

If you're wise, don't marry down

Marry someone who prays or at least is eager to learn how to pray

Marry someone who prays fervently in tongues or at least wants to know how to pray fervently in tongues

Marry someone who hears from God or at least desires strongly to hear from God

Someone who dreams of "being more" for God and doing more for the kingdom of God

Don't waste your emotional energies on people who just want to be in a romantic cloud but have no respect for truth and its impact on the issues of life

Romance is good but yes, marry someone who also loves the truths in the book of Romans

Beauty is a disaster except she loves Jesus Christ with a passion and is eager to grow in the knowledge of Him

Being handsome is great only if he loves Jesus Christ with a passion and is eager to grow in the knowledge of Him

Marry someone who uses the principles of righteousness to succeed in their life and finance

They don't have to be a preacher or a pastor, but marry someone who REALLY loves Jesus

Life is not a joke... Marry someone who has a serious disposition to life and to the demands of their destiny

I did

You too can

Yes o! Make the foundation of your marriage rock solid by marrying a God man/woman, so that when the storms and winds of life happen, you both stay strong and unyielding... Marry up!

Oh, yes. It's wisdom to marry up.

Very true. It is quite instructive too.

We need to help people learn these things.

You are good. Am impressed

@adabless It's God's grace at work. There's nothing I have that I didn't receive. Thanks.

This got me really moved. A good integration of Love and Religion.
Well elaborated.

@mickyscofield I'm glad this post ministered to you in some way.

Power up. Marry up.

In sync.

Awww... this is beautiful, I look forward to mine with my second half. The lady who’d be my other half in life, a soul mate, a companion, a counselor .... a lady I’d treat right, Hold tight, a lady I'd always find peace in her eyes. A lady who’d rule my world with me, the same world on our knees, a lady who’d rule my world.
So help me God when the time is right .... GONJUGAL BLISS

@olumideolowoyeye
As great as these desires of yours are it's comforting to realise that God has even better plans for us than we have for ourselves.

Just keep learning to do it God's way.

Amazing!
I'm sure gonna take all these lessons to heart because my greatest fear it is.....indeed excited now that the closer it gets, the more the peace.

I'm sure gonna Marry Up!

@danield Grace is on duty for you bro...

Amen! Thanks bro

I totally concur. Awaiting the tips for the already married too.

They'll come. Just stay tuned.

Word!.. You either "Marry Up" or don't marry at all... Whether we like it or not, realities of life will come knocking. One cannot be bleeding and fighting at the same time.
