Marriage and spirituality

I've seen men run after Church girls hoping and believing that ladies are more religious and can help uphold the spiritual aspect of the family

4. Marriage and finance

Some ladies also love spiritual brothers because they desire to grow more spiritually and believed that godly, spiritual and God fearing man will make their home heaven on Earth

The truth is that, being churchy doesn't equate making a good wife or husband

Spirituality is one of the core requirements but not all that is required for a successful and happy marriage, wisdom and principles that make relationship and marriage work in addition to being spiritual is what make marriage work regardless of spiritual stability and level. Nevertheless, this point is one of the core requirements for a successful marriage and cannot be overemphasized; life is spiritual and must be approached from that stand point

Both man and woman are basically in three dimensions as far as relationship and marriage is concerned and if any of these dimensions fail, the marriage will suffer the consequence.

The man is in three dimensions which are

1. The man as a husband

2. The man as a father

3 The man as a priest

Also the woman in three dimensions which are

1. The woman as a wife

2. The woman as mother

3. The woman as a priestess

If the first two dimensions are accomplished and the third lack, I can assure you that your marriage will still fail

Let me explain failure in this context for you because when we say marriage fails, many don't know what we are talking about. Failure in marriage doesn't mean divorce or separation, this is what many tagged to be failure in marriage

Couples may remain together forever and yet fail maritally

The fact that you pass 12 courses out of 15 doesn't guarantee you for graduation, you did not fail entirely, but you will not graduate with your mate and if you fail to pass those courses, you can forfeit the whole thing

The same thing applied to marriage, if you pass in some areas and fail in some areas, you are still a failure

So, your spiritual life must be alive as a man or woman, don't push it on your spouse, you have your priesthood position as the man and she has hers as the woman

Your pastor is a spiritual governor over the body of Christ and not your family alone, but you are the spiritual governor over your family

If all you have is your pastor's prayers and governorship spiritually, you will may still fail.

This should be well communicated between lovers before marriage.... Build system of sustenance together, let it be well known to both of you the place of spirituality in your home, help one another to grow

If you have grown more than your partner, your goal should not be to boast but to influence him/her that you both may grow together for the sake of your home, children and the future
