All that glitters is not gold is not an illusion but a fact. Prospective partners should appreciate courtship as training ground because a relationship set with a vision and purpose, approached on God's principles with a solid foundation is definitely programmed to succeed as far the maker is God.Let us not build our marriage on helpless confessions, submitting to fate by reciting for better for worse, in poverty and in wealth, in sickness and in health all just for reciting sake because it doesn't come up from our mind or not really ordained and accepted by God.let us follow after what is real, and not what we see , feel and hear. We ought to look unto God to perfect our marriage. Most of our marriage problems a normally planted during courtship and this courtship to a large extent determines the kind of marriage we are preparing for but let us always prepare ourselves for godly marriage. Let us not go in because others are are going. Assess your spouse before jumping into the marriage world. I n particular strongly believe that for a good and sound marriage we must go for the love and not for the beauty, handsome, wealth, body physique and life style because all these attached goodies might one day go by eventualities but that love lives and abides foreverMarriage is all about manage and so with love we have to manage our marriage up to a standard and that is the essence of that vow on our wedding day "" For better for worse , in health and in sickness, for poverty for wealth. Without love our marriages will be prone to infidelity, promiscuous, frustration, depression, anxieties etc. When marriage is not built on love and trust then it will affect our wishes in marriage . Hello my fellow steemits For those of us already in marriage , no matter what we are passing through , let us apply the love principles into our marriage to avoid frustrated and shattered homes in future.
