BEFORE YOU SAY “I DO”, READ THIS …
I hope you are all keeping safe this season!
Conversing with friends this period, a lot of young people are beginning to lose the "free-spiritedness" they used to pride themselves in. When suddenly faced with the probability of demise as experienced by the staggering news of death during this pandemic, they decide they no longer want to remain "unshackled".
So, a little advice to you all, hope it makes sense and helps in your decision-making process!

SEX IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE, SACRIFICE IS.
You do NOT need to have sex to show your love just as people do NOT necessarily love those they have sexual relations with.
This is the core reason why the LGBTQ movement is full of foolishness and deceit.
They claim it is an expression of love.
Love made them have queer sexual fetishes. A man decides to have sex with his fellow man through unnatural means and claim it is his expression of love.
This is the height of foolishness and depravity.
.
.
The expression of love is SACRIFICE. This is why people stay married for years.
It’s NOT about the benefits! It is about loyalty to eternal sacrifice. Yes, even the sacrifice that leads to death.
When a soldier dies on duty, that is an acceptable outcome. They went in with the knowledge of the possibility of dying during the course of duty.
When a person decides to get married, (tied to another forever in a bond of eternal love), he/she should also be aware of the possibility of paying the ultimate sacrifice.
What? Did you not know it was till death do you part? Did you not know that your love will find expression in consistent sacrifices (both little and great)? Did you not know that “forever after” would have some unpleasant periods?
A relationship held by love is NOT one devoid of challenges and rancour. No. Rather it is one where invested parties are determined to undertake ANY challenge to the bitter or sweet end. And yes, there is an end. Death. It all ends in death – the ultimate sacrifice.

So,
You mustn’t marry everyone you love. You should love whoever you marry. But love ALONE is not the criteria for marriage.
Yes! You may love somebody greatly but NOT ever marry that person because that person is NOT suitable to you for marriage!
Yes!!!
There are lots of reasons why a love relationship may NOT continue to marriage.
1. Genotype incompatibility
2. Debilitating and terminal diseases (HIV, Covid-19, etc.)
3. Vision disparity
4. Geographical and traditional diversity
5. Religious difference
6. Illegality of polygamy etc.
Listen, as long as you have life, you will come to love a lot of people in your lifetime.
Do NOT be in a hurry to settle for the first “deep” love relationship you have or be unduly influence by an “awesome” sexual experience.
Your “Mr. Right” or “Miss Perfect” must NOT JUST be the love of your life, he/she MUST be the PERFECT ONE who is worthy of your utmost expression of love.
You will be willing to bear anything for that person even to lose your very life. That is the requisite expression of love for marriage that is UNBREAKABLE by infidelity, lack, familial pressure, suffering, change in character, spiritual interference, etc.
I wish you the best in life and love.
Love Life; Live Free!
