Like earlier said,for a successful marraige to be talked about,a successful relationship or period of courtship must have been recorded.For a successful relationship to be achieved,there are wisdom-bearing principles to follow;
1.NEVER FEEL INFERIOR BECAUSE YOU ARE SINGLE
You don't rush into a relationship just because you want to be engaged with someone,for this can result into heart-wrecking circumstances.When looking for who to spend your life with,you just don't choose but rather you discover.But the fact is that for you to discover,it has to be revealed to you by God which means for it to be revealed to you by God,you have to create an intimate relationship with him.In the book of Genesis chapter 2 verse 21,God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he took out a rib to form Eve.Therefore,you can't just choose who you want to marry,it has to be by revelation from God to you because it is only Him that knows whom he formed your rib with and whose rib he formed you from.So stop feeling inferior but rather create an intimate relationship with Him and he will lead you through.
2.SET YOUR STANDARDS RIGHT FROM ONSET
The period of courtship or being in a relationship should be a period where each partners gets to know the likes and dislikes of the other.But it is so dis-heartening that most to-be couples only talk about the kind of colour-matching they want to display on their wedding day,the kind of crib they want to live in and the number of kids they want to have.In as much as this is also ideal to talk about,but this is a misplace of priority.The period of courtship should be a period where the intended couples should intensively talk about their morals,beliefs and mode of lifestyle.It is even sad to know that most to-be couples spend time in courtship but don't spend time together.Get to know your partner's morals, belief and sense of judgement so that you don't get to spend the rest of your life with a stranger.
3.DO NOT BE A FOOL
Most young people especially ladies get carried away what they see.In the world of relationship,the extent of your sight is limited.Most ladies think they can out-smart a guy just because they see this tall,rich and handsome dude.One true fact is that a guy would always be a guy no matter how nice or how passionate you think he is about you.When all you think is about receiving call cards,gifts from Him and going to eateries,majority of guys at one point have the tendency of asking for something more from you.Ask God for wisdom and stop being a fool.
4.BE REAL AND ORIGINAL
The best person you can go into marriage with is your best friend.Your best friend in quote does not necessarily mean your childhood friend or your best friend your university days,but he/she should be who can accept you for who you are.It is so sad that most people go into a relationship with a fake identity.Why take a fake identity into a relationship when it is going to wear off when you go into marriage.Why display this ''classy and tush style'' when it is not really inside of you.One important fact is that one big factor that wears off the classy form is ''old age''.when you get old,the real you will manifest.Even some people don't know how to carry along the fake identity for so long,after a year or two into marriage,the real them will begin to materialize.Let your intended spouse accept you for who you are and not the fake identity you carry.
