            3.  INTELLIGENT: 

 There is an African adage that says 'a woman is like an object  in a tied bag . A man cannot know what it contains until he takes it home and opens it. In making a choice of a lifemate, there is the need to apply your God given intelligence.  This goes beyond asking questions or observing characters it involves getting to remove the veil of pretence from your partner and knowing the true nature of the person. 
A brother met a sister in a church and asked for her hands in marriage.  After the prerequisite counselling and courtship, they were joined together in 'holy ' matrimony. It was after the death of their third child that the husband discovered she was a witch.
Another sister married a Pastor and was glad to have been married to a seemingly pious man only to discover that he had been married in Jos with children.
These people did not use their God given intelligence to know if there was pretence and deception in their relationships.  When a man or woman is rushing you into a secret wedding without the consent of both families, beware he/she has something to hide.

In case of severe sickness, can I clear his waste without pinching my nose or twisting my mouth? Supposed there are no children, will he /she still be the apple of my eyes? There is the story of this lady who was diagnosed with cancer a few months after her wedding. She was made to go through chemotherapy treatment and after the treatment, she looked 80 years older than her normal age with fallen hair and wrinkled face....

          BEFORE GETTING MARRIED     MATURITY BEFORE GETTING MARRIED   It is a known fact that maturity is key in marriage. Marriage, whichever way or place it is consummated is  not for kids. A successful marriage can only be built by two matured people who are willing to  - Make sacrifices in whichever way it is demanded  - Forgive as many times as offences come  - Overlook faults as if they never occurred  Unfortunately, maturity does not always come with age and for most people, it has to be consciously learnt and practiced.  If you want to make your marriage work, you must start making efforts before  the wedding date  is fixed to “wake up and grow up “. You must be determined to grow as an individual and develop your minds, intellect and emotions to the maximum level that can ensure peaceful co-habitation.  Even though the following list is not inclusive, to have a joyous marriage, individua...
