    Wow...I just heard everything that was wrong in my previous relationship. My priest who is also a marriage counselor told me I dodged a bullet; I didn't understand it. My ex fiancee just hated the fact that I listened to Pastor K's teaching too much, I was like, what's wrong with trying to know how to love you better.

    I used to sulk too because I felt that it was better than talking out my emotions and it was definitely worse. But now I talk and sometimes I over talk, so, I just keep praying to know 'WHAT TO SAY AND HOW TO SAY' when angry!😊 We all really need to unlearn and relearn in this thing called marriage. 😅

    Thank you Jesus, I don’t know how God does it… but everytime I need clarification on something especially relationship, I just open UA-cam and God leads me to a message or preach I should listen to. I especially love the part you said ‘’WE would not think of divorce no matter what happens, we are in this for life.
    I also learnt about the sulking, that’s me .. but I have changed now… because it’s not a good character. God will help me
    Thank you so much.

    One thing I conclude with this is that everything from a to z has to be intentional, it's risky to act on your feelings i.e doing what you feel like doing in the marriage.

    1 be contend with yourself and be able to walk away from the relationship.
    2. Once married, there's no room for divorce. Divorce is not an option
    3. When angry or upset, talk, don't sulk.
    4. No quarrels. We can't both be angry at all.
    5. Exchange parents and only intervene when there's a problem
    6. Joint account and joint accountability.
    7. Look out for each other. The other person is responsible for the other's well-being.
    8. The marriage must be Word-ruled.
    9. No password or no secret. Know each other's passwords and have each other's accounts. Transparency

    I've gone back n forth on this finance (especially the matter of prenup) issue a lot. I wish I cld send him a question directly. It's not that u don't trust the person but rather u cannot control how the person will change 10 yrs from now. Even God said he regretted creating man at some point. Of course the person u marry today is someone u trust but if that person gets up 10 yrs from now n walks out regardless of counseling etc., u can't force them to stay. Why are we ok with every kind of insurance (life, home, car) but not a prenup😢 which is pretty much a financial insurance? Like he mentioned person can be determined to fight for the marriage when the other one mentally left a long time ago n nothing can change their minds.

      @Godlove-John Місяць тому

      Many men who are impotent (inability to sustain erection during sex is an aspect of impotency) don't know as they haven't had sex before. So it is either your suggestion is for every man to explore their sexuality and to then disclose that in their next relationship. Mind you sex is an aspect of marriage in the realm of the spirit as abortion is an aspect of child sacrifice (or murder) recorded in the realm of the spirit.
