Before You Say I Do

Preparation for marriage is as important as the marriage itself, so before you take the step towards marriage, make sure you prepare adequately. On today's series opener, we look at some areas to prepare in before you get married.

Cohabitation isn't the solution towards knowing your partner better, rather it serves as a distraction to actually knowing each other better. We conclude our series on Cohabitation Dangers.

Cohabitation is bad but what is even worse than cohabitation itself is the effect it has on the both partners involved and that is why we are discussing about its dangers.

Cohabitation  can be dangerous  in so many ways because it fast tracks a process of knowing eachother in an unhealthy  way that doesn't  help your relationship in any way.

Cohabitation shouldn't be an option for a true believer, it doesn't matter whether or not you guys do anything, it's a box that should never be ticked. On this series we look into the dangers plaguing cohabitation.

The longevity of your relationship/marriage depends on the type of people you surround yourself with and also the type of people you get advice from consistently.

Sometimes the battles you are facing is not one personally of your own making but of the making of your friends or family members you involved in your relationship/marital dispute with your partner.

Instead of 3rd Parties, use authority  figures to settle issues in your relationship/marriage if it cannot be settled by you both because,authority figures can never be as biased  as 3rd parties.

When you allow third parties into your relationship/marriage, you're indirectly delegating your job in the relationship to the person(s), which will see them invading your space at every given opportunity and this can ultimately ruin your relationship.

Third party involvement is the reason most relationship/marriages pack up and in worst case scenario, never enjoy the luxury of reconciliation. On this series we will generally be looking at the effects of third party interference in relationships.

Peace in the relationship/marriage is as important as fuel is to a car. You can't enjoy a relationship without peace and the relationship will never grow if there's no peace.

The way to know a relationship/marriage is working, is the level of peace enjoyed in the relationship. On today's episode we continue to share ways you can keep the peace in your relationship.

The greatest desire of anyone in a relationship or marriage is not to have plenty money, yes money is good and important in a relationship/marriage but it isn't as important as having peace, as enjoying abundance of peace in your relationship.

For any relationship/marriage to be successful, the peace must be consistently kept for that to happen and that will take both partners to achieve, so a peaceful home is very important for a healthy relationship.

Today, we look at other areas to have an honest and sincere conversation about during the talking stage as you get to know your prospective better.

Talking is stage is a stage to find out things about each other,whether they be negative things or positive things,anyone not utilising it, is wasting precious time they would have used in knowing more about themselves.

Discussion during the talking stage is very important, infact it helps to prepare both partners in advance if they begin dating against any eventualities or uncertainties.

Talking stage is for talking and not for touching, the constant problem a lot of people have, I mean the ones who haven't been talking and rather have been touching is that,they realise later on how much time they have lost and regret doesn’t make up for that. So, on today's episode, we explore more topics to discuss during the talking stage.

Majority of people intending to go into dating do not know how to maximise talking stage, they do not know what to discuss and that's why they go into relationships without  fully understanding the person they are falling in love with but with this series,  we'll  help them with information regarding  what to talk about during the talking stage.

So, on this last episode of this series, we'll be discussing even more ways one can differentiate between true love and obsession

Relationship is meant to be about two hearts and not one. When a relationship/marriage starts being about me instead of us, it will begin to show signs of obsession because true love is never about one person but both persons in the relationship.

Everything associated with true love is easy to handle no matter how the situation may seem, no matter how overwhelming the situation may seem but is not so so with obsession. Today, we look at more differences between the both of them.

Obsession is mostly mistaken for true love whereas, it isn't so,on this new series, we'll be dropping several points to shed light on the distinctiveness between love and obsession.

Today, we end a four weeks journey as it concerns godly deal breakers. We would be talking about some more godly deal breakers that every Christian should be aware of.

Dating without any boundaries will promote disorderliness in any relationship. Dealbreakers aren't there to complicate the relationship but are rather there to uncomplicate them.
