In this season of weddings, and people getting engaged, its important for couples to realize the benefits of premarital counseling. Dont just sit with someone who likes both the bride and the groom and wants to dance around the major issues of marriage. Marriage is no joke and certainly not to be entered into lightly. Marriage is more than the beautiful white dress, the dashing tuxedo, and the big party. Marriage is more than the spoken words of I love you repeated over and over again until your throat is dry. There are some harsh realities that happen in certain marriages after the big day is over. There are some serious compatibility issues that only come up long after the passion of the wedding night has subsided. I heard someone say once, youve got to get out of bed sometime. And like it or not, thats very true. So what is marriage then? How do you have a successful one? Find someone that you know that could really sit you down before you make the ultimate decision to get married. DO NOT TAKE COUNSEL FROM ANYONE NOT MARRIED THEMSELVES (for at least 10+ years) Sit with a couple that truly have Godly wisdom about the issue. People who has been married more than 20 years would be perfect! My aunt and uncle have been married for 50 years now and her advice to someone recently was, Know how to pick your battles. There are sometimes when you really need to just get quiet and not argue your point. Luther Vandross had a song that said, Sometimes love is wonderful, and sometimes... Its only love. Dont read more into this post than the words posted above because youd be misreading it. I just think someone needs to read this before they make a mistake that theyre going to regret.
