1. THEY CAN BUILD OR DESTROY YOUR MENTAL WELL-BEING

This will be the person you interact with the most – for the rest of your life, they can love on you or make you feel unwanted

2. THEY CAN GIVE YOU A SAFE SPACE TO TALK OR MAKE YOU FEEL MISUNDERSTOOD

It’s so wonderful to feel heard, even when you have different viewpoints. Marriage can be a scary place when you constantly feel misunderstood

3. THEY CAN BE YOUR COUNSELLOR OR BE THE REASON YOU NEED A COUNSELLING SESSION

This person can be the one you run to when you need to vent, when the world is tough and the load of life is heavy; or they can be the reason why you book counselling sessions because you are not well with them

4. THEY CAN HELP YOU SPOT YOUR BIAS

We all have biases, areas we need to grow. A healthy spouse can help us identify moments when we are being selfish, inconsiderate, mean, unfair to others and ourselves, and immature; leading to growth

5. THEY CAN HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR TRAUMAS OR TRIGGER YOU

Our trauma will show up in marriage. A healthy spouse will be there for us to help us heal from our trauma; an unhealthy spouse will worsen our trauma, trigger us, make us feel judged

6. THEY CAN BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN GOD REVEALS UNPLEASANT THINGS ABOUT YOU

Marriage is a great revealer. When single, it is very easy to present a glossy side of us to the public, but marriage reveals our true naked safe. When God exposes the unpleasant side of us in marriage, a healthy spouse will be there to remind us we are still loved and to journey with us to being better

7. THEY CAN BE YOUR PRAYER PARTNER OR BE A PRAYER ITEM

Who you marry can be the one who prays with you, or affect your prayer life negatively, or turn your prayers into constant lamentations

8. THEY CAN CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF PEACE, OR AN ENVIRONMENT OF CHAOS

Home is not a building, it is a person. Your spouse can be someone you feel warm and comfortable with, or someone who keeps you on edge, doubting yourself, living in fear and insecurities

9. THEY CAN TALK YOU DOWN OR SPEAK LIFE TO YOU

Your spouse can be the one who speaks well of you, affirms you, encourages you and reminds you that you are not alone; or the one who belittles you, frequently pointing how terrible you are, pulling down your dreams and putting hurdles along your path

10. THEY CAN GIVE YOU ABUSE THROUGH SILENT TREATMENT OR RELEASE THROUGH TALKING THINGS OUT

Silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse. It will hurt when you live in the same house, sleep on the same bed with someone who intentionally ignores you. What a joy to be with someone who is intentional about talking with you and respecting you, even when having difficult conversations

11. THEY CAN BRING YOU STRESS THROUGH FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT OR SECURITY THROUGH FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Money can bring a lot of mental strain. A healthy spouse will be a financial blessing, avoiding irresponsible debt, managing finances well, covering your financial weakness, working will you in getting out of financial mess and doing their best to clean up the financial damage they do
