- Marriage don’t manufacture happiness: Most singles do look forward to their wedding day with nostalgia thinking they will become extremely happy after their wedding as marriage will make them happy. Please tell them that if they will be happy in their marriage; they will be the one that will create it. When two happy people get married, they will make a joyful marriage, but when two happiness seekers or joy hunters gets married, they are likely going to build a very miserable home. If they must be happy at all tell them to link up with the God of joy and create their joy. (Philippians 4:4) THINGS YOU MUST TELL YOUR FOLLOWERS ABOUT MARRIAGE
