I had a dream last night that I went to the church for a wedding. Wedding indeed! I’d love it if I were to wed someone I love…But in my dream, I married a fellow with nothing extraordinary. Really! Don’t think that I’m fastidious. I am. You got me.

Seriously though, it’s very important for a person to marry someone you love, right? Or is it the other way around? Marrying someone who loves you more than you love him/ her? That’s the catch.

Me? I honestly thought marriage is too early for me. It takes lot of time to discern. First you have to be ready emotionally and more importantly financially. You should know each others likes and dislikes. Marriage carries heavy responsibilities and it needs maturity and fortitude. And of course, if the one you’re marrying is ready to marry you, right? That’s funny I know. But you have to consider things that will either make or break your decision. Marriage is like drinking hot coffee, you need to make sure first that you can swallow it. And you also need to know if it would cater to your taste. What if it’s too bitter? Or too sweet? Marriage is like that, you have to be certain if you’re geared up to it.

“Marriage provides fellowship, comfort, companionship and partnership It must not be a product of childish decision, misguided imitation, faithless conclusion or religious compulsion” (Matthew 19:10, Corinthians 7: 32, 34).

But the most essential thing is that God has guided us into the marriage itself after we pray and seek His will
