For those who are considering marriage, you're welcome to read
these seven recommendations for a marriage forever
1. On one occasion, a Sunday school teacher gave me advice
never forget. This teacher told me: "Do not marry the person you
you think you can live.
Marry the person with whom you could not stop living." There is great truth in this
advice. Marriage can be difficult even when two people are
passionately in love, but it's like murder when they do not even have
love as a foundation.
2. Do not marry someone who has characteristics you feel are intolerable
. Maybe you plan to change him or her in the future
but probably will not happen. The conduct of the person was
formed very early in childhood and is very difficult to alter. To
to change a deeply engraved pattern of behavior, you have to build a dam
very strong, digging a new channel and redirect the river
a new direction. That effort is usually not successful.
So if you can not live with the property that you see in the
another person during the time of engagement, this feature can
plague you for the rest of your life.
For example, a person who drinks every night, is likely to
waives this habit after the honeymoon.
If I spend money, or is essentially messy, or
tends to get violent when irritated or is extremely selfish, they are red flags
that you should not ignore. What you see is what you get! For
course, we all have faults, and I'm not suggesting that a person
has to be perfect to be a candidate for marriage.
Actually my point is that you have to decide if you can tolerate an unstable behavior for the rest
of your life, because that is the length of time you will
to support the case.
3. Do not marry impulsively! I can think of no better way to ruin your life
, jump on this critical decision without
serious thought and prayer. Remember,
dating relationship is designed to conceal information, not reveal. The two
put the best face for the one they seek to attract.
keep secrets that could endanger the relationship. For this reason, many newly married
get a big surprise during the first year of life
marriage. I suggest that you take at least a year to achieve
go behind the facade and know the inner character of the person.
4. If you are a deeply committed Christian,
not let yourself get into a relationship of "unequally yoked" with an unbeliever. It
may have the hope to win your spouse to the Lord in
the future, and sometimes that does happen. But having it is a great risk
, and in fact it is nonsense.
Again, this is a question that requires a good
answer: How critical is it that my husband shares my faith? This
is essential and not negotiable, as Scripture tells us to be
be for believers then you should give this issue a high priority level
before deciding to marry.
5. Do not go to live with the person before marriage.
do something like a bad idea for several reasons. First, it is immoral and a violation
the laws of God. Second strip below
relationship and often leads to divorce. Many studies show that 
couples living together before marriage have a 50 percent
more likely to divorce than those who marry first; couples living together before marriage have a 50 percent and that based on information you already have 50 years.
those who cohabit also have less satisfying marriages and unstable.
6. Do not marry too young. Those who marry between 14 and 17 years old
are twice as likely to divorce than couples who wait until
twenties. The form a family requires some
features that come with maturity, such as
generosity, stability and self-control. It is best to wait for these features
claim on us.
7. Finally, the greatest secret of a love for life is this:
as a simple way, the stability of marriage is a byproduct
iron determination to make the marriage work
. If you choose to marry, enter into that agreement with the decision
to remain committed to each other for all
life. Never threaten to leave your spouse for
moments of anger. Do not allow yourself to even consider the possibility of a divorce
. L renounce the marriage should not be an option for
who want to reach the goal! Christian devotional
