12 Wrong Reasons For Marriage part1
Many people want to get married for various reasons but some of these reasons are wrong. In this article I will expose some of them so that they do not form your decisions on marriage. They can only produce a marriage with regrets.
Gift: Never marry a man or woman because of what you are getting from him or her. Gift blindfolds; please run away from it because that gift may eventually be a “Greek gift”.

Money: The love of money is the root of all evil. (1Timothy 6:10). Never marry somebody because of his or her wealth. MONEY may turn into MOURNING if that is your main reason to marry. 12 Wrong Reasons For Marriage part1 12 Wrong Reasons For Marriage part1
Never trade your destiny with present pleasure, it is dangerous.
Election: Never allow your marriage to be based on “election”. People around you may encourage you to marry a particular person for one reason or the other. Never make the decision without consulting God because it might be dangerous. Majority may not necessarily carry the vote in marriage. Marriage is not by election, it is by revelation.
Selection: This is a situation whereby without consulting God, you just decide to check out all the brothers or sisters available one after the other to know which one you could marry. This is your way of selecting the “best” candidate by trial and by error. This is wrong; marriage is not by selection it is by revelation.
Beauty: “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lords, she shall be praised”. (Proverbs 31:30) Do not marry a person because of his or her physical appearance because beauty will fade, you will know reality later.
Business: Some people decided to get married because they have been good business partners. A good business partner may not be a good life-partner, allow God to lead you.
You are a great man. What a great and life changing advice from you. May GOD water your wisdom in all aspect.
