Much has been said about communication during courtship. We all agree it is the life wire of any relationship. Without it, things will fall apart because your partner is not a mind reader. Talk, Talk, and Talk! This is something you will do throughout your lifetime together as a couple. 📌 Communication is key! —- Much has been said about keeping yourselves holy throughout the period of courtship. S’exual purity is not restricted to not having s’exual intercourse with your partner only. It includes: not kissing, not romancing, not smooching, not engaging in ma’sturbation, not watching po’rno’graphy, and all forms of se’xual perversion we have out there. 📌 Abstinence is important! —- Much has been said about agreeing on the same core values or at most reaching a workable compromise on them. You both must not only be reading the same book and be on the same page, but you must be on the same line and seeing the same words. 📌Compatibility is essential! —- Less has been said about the importance of prayers before, during, and after your big day. In my book, “BUILDING EMOTIONAL INTIMACY The Importance of Discussing Sex During Courtship,” I mentioned this. One of the things we did most during our courtship was prayer. My husband, then my fiance, and I prayed like we would never pray again. Our parents too weren’t left out as they organized different prayer sessions for us. Life is full of mysteries. Sometimes, you experience some unpleasant things and you mutter to yourself, “Despite all my prayers?” Yes, if you have lost anything at all, God is the reason why you haven’t lost everything. Whatever happened could have been worse. One of the secrets that God opened my eyes to quite early is: prayers can never be too much but they can be too little. You cannot ‘over-pray’ but you can ‘under-pray.’ ✓Pray about yourselves (as the intended couples). ✓Pray about the kind of family you intend to have. ✓Pray about your individual families. ✓Pray for supernatural supplies before, during, and after your big day. ✓Pray concerning each and every aspect of your big day: introduction, court wedding, traditional wedding, church wedding, and the reception. ✓Pray about the food, water, and drinks that you and your guest will be served. Pray against the wic’kedness of men and come against the spirit of error. No food po’isoning will spoil your day. ✓Pray for fair weather. Your big day shouldn’t be disrupted by a heavy downpour and neither should there be an unpalatable windy experience. ✓Pray for the journeys that you and your guests will embark on. No acci’dents whatsoever. ✓Pray about everything and anything that the Holy Spirit drops in your mind. Don’t leave anything to chance. Remember, the spiritual controls the physical. Begin with prayer, continue with it, and end with it. 📌Prayer is the key! —- May God give us Christian Homes, Amen! Was this helpful? Do share it with others.
