One dangerous person to marry is one who does not believe in the permanence of marriage. The one who believes he/she can opt out of marriage at will is not good for you.

One may ask why the rate of divorce has increased and keeps increasing all over the world. Some couples divorce for very flimsy reasons citing irreconciliable differences, whereas, some couples have the same differences, worked it out and continued to live happily.

One would think that most people divorce to save their lives from an abusive spouse but there are people who have dissolved their marriages for other unreasonable reasons without their lives coming under threat.

For instance, the footballer, Kaka, his wife divorced him for being too perfect. The lady confessed he doesn't maltreat her, he doesn't womanize and he does all that was expected of him just that she couldn't continue in the marriage because of his perfect posture. Isn't that bizzare? I know a man who divorced his wife because she couldn't bear him a child.

One of the reasons I see in this matter is that many no longer believe in the permanence of marriage. They are not willing to work things out in their marriages until they find solution to it. Any little disagreement, they walk away. This is not the will of God.

There is a wave of teaching that is spreading which makes light marital vows as though it is nothing. The moment you hear: "If it doesn't work out, walk out", just know that Satan is programming you for marital failure.

If you enter into marriage with that mindset or with someone who has that mindset, your marriage will not work because you have prepared for failure before the journey start.

That is why I counsel that when you want to marry, ensure to marry someone with similar values and ideology about life and marriage. If you believe in permanence of marriage and your partner doesn't, you may need to reconsider your decision before someone walk out of your marriage because you fart.

A generation of men and women who lacks endurance is increasing by the day because they heard marriage is all about enjoyment without endurance. That is an imbalance mentality. There are days of endurance and waiting on God to fix issues.

God doesn't want to launch into marriage those who will sue for divorce because their spouses took ill or cannot give them children. There is a reason Thomas Crammer wrote in his famous marital vows: For better for worse. He knew there could be dark days.

No on prays for the worse but when life throws the wrong stone at us, we must act like faith people who will stand against Satan in unity until victory is achieved. Don't marry someone who will chicken out because of little issues or life challenges. If you sense he/she cannot stand by you in tough times, don't consider him/her for marriage.

It is the will of God for you to marry and stay married until death comes. It is also God's will for both of you to work out your marriage and stay in it to make it work.
