CHOICE MAKING (CM)
Making a marital choice is very important in the life of any single. If it is not well done, a marriage may become a difficult task. That is why the Bible says:
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalms 11:3 KJV)
Experts say choice making in marriage determines the success of the union up to 20 per cent. When rightly or wrongly done or wisely or foolishly handled, the results are evident in marriage.
