On a Saturday like this, everyone will be around you rejoicing with you. We will take ‘picsures’, we will eat jollof rice. We will dance, we may even spray you money and give gifts. You will feel like the happiest person in the world. All eyes and attention on you. Such a good feeling.
Few hours later, we will all return to our destination. All of us. Leaving just you and your new bride abi groom to each other. Just the two of you by yourself. Party yaff finish. Jollof rice yaff finish. Live band abi DJ are already in their house. Your best man and chief bridesmaid are all gone. Your aso ebi geng and men in agbada are gone.
All of us, gone. The only person who will be left with you is the person you just signed a life covenant with. The man or woman you just got married to. Welcome to ML. Now, your decision is bare before you. You’re here to stay. No leave, no transfer. You’ll live with the decision you made; good or bad. You will see the outcome of your decision, everyday.
Men and brethren, choose with God. Open your eyes while praying and watching. Seek counsel. It can never be too much. It is better to keep asking questions and seeking counsel than to regret not doing so later. Counsel gives safety and direction. If you’re someone who is given to Godly counsel, you can never miss it.
Don’t be desperate for marriage and do not marry for the wrong reason. Put your head before your heart. Do not go ahead with someone you can’t cope with. Don’t put yourself in a lifetime mess because of how you feel right now. Some singles are asking “GOD WHEN?” while some married are asking “GOD WHY?” Tor. May the Lord guide and direct our path.
Selah.

Happy weekend, family.
