Sorry that this quoted bible verses is not Marriage-centric but let’s derive something teachable.
Open your Bible with me to Acts 13:1-3
‘…Commission Barnabas and Saul for the mission I have called them to complete.’
That’s God calling Paul and Barnabas!
But
Here is Acts 15:39
“The disagreement escalated, until Paul and Barnabas went their separate ways. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus,”
Hmmmm, same Paul and Barnabas!
The lesson here is that, that it’s God doesn’t mean there won’t be disagreement during our courting days or even in marriage.
In Courtship, at times, each of you will have to go your separate ways for the greater good of all.
It doesn’t mean God is not involved at the inception but you know we are still in our fallen state as human beings.
And because that happens doesn’t mean we must become enemies.
No! Paul and Barnabas were never enemies despite their ministerial disagreement.
In fact, the same Mark that cause the split was commended in one of Paul’s letters.
May God helps you to gain understanding into this mystery.

God is Not at Fault.
Trust me for what you are about to read.
Courtship, Wedding and Marriage, according to the word of God are simple, light and very easy to do. We are the one that add complexities to it via our cultures, traditions, prejudices, experiences and whatnots.
Courtship is simply interviewing the man/woman for ‘job’ he/she is gunning for. Who add premarital sex to it? Who added talking stage? Public proposal nkọ?
Wedding is simply a public declaration that so so so and so should start living together as husband and wife with the full knowledge of their parents.
Who added various donts and does to it? Who added debts? Who added competitions to it?
Marriage is simply husband loves your wife as Christ loves the church… wives likewise should submit to their husbands as unto the Lord.
Only God knows layers upon layers of humanly chocking complexities we have added to those simple requirements.
Lastly, for your Courtship, go to the Bible, you will find in it how to do it without sinning or wasting your time and someone’s pikin’s time.
Go to the Bible for your wedding and let the Word of God be the ultimate manual and guide for your marriage.
I can bet it with you doing so will benefit your relationship and take it from the realm of human opinions.
The Word works.Share this:

You are on the right course!
One of the popular biblical verses concerning relationships is found in Malachi 3:3
‘Can two walk except they agreed’
And that is how it should be. Your spouse should agree with you in most matters of life, especially in these three areas
- Parenting
- Doctrinal beliefs and
- Money matters
But since who you are going to marry is a full human being who grows up in a completely different environment from your minor disagreement, especially on things temporal is allowed and is not an indicator of incompatibility.
For example, I am a football/soccer fan, precisely a Chelsea supporter, whereas my wife is completely indifferent to football.
A Republican and a Democrat.
A fashionista lady and merry-go-round guy
Etc.
Your spouse is allowed to have his/her personal opinions and preferences and you should thank Providence for giving you another human being as a partner and not a robot.
Isn’t that amazing that you will be going live with another fearful and wonderful creature like you?
If yes, share this!

Brothers, you will learn but I hope you didn’t learn the hard way
Dear brothers, ask any married guy out there if any of these things you are about to read are lies.
I can take a chance with you that two years into Marriage, you will be less concerned about whether your wife is plus or minus size.
Height won’t even trickle you when she is in labour.
A doctor’s report on hand, the shape of her backside you won’t relate to
Whether she is most beautiful woman or not, will be of no real importance to me.
So many things you think count now do not even weigh a nanogram in the grand scheme of marriage.
None of them can even pay a kobo of the many bills in the house.
That’s why you should go for character.
Go for partnership.
Go for someone who can truly meet your help.
I call factually tell you that physical specs are not a sin but never put them above godliness.
May God help you to choose right in Jesus’ name

What advice would you give to your teenage about Marriage
Number one, there are people who are keeping the sexual purity ideal up in this 21st century. Don’t let sinners’ voice mislead you contrawise.
Number two, God’s commands is still No sex before Marriage and I am 100% saying this, you can’t regret ever keeping yourself till you are rightfully married.
Furthermore, start praying now. Don’t wait until you are about to settle down before praying about your future home.
Pray for your future spouse, kids, in-laws, friends, neighbours, anything and everything that have to do with marriage.
Fourthly, believe that Godly, lovely and enjoyable Marriage is very much around and you can have one.
Lastly, invest in Godly books, conferences, seminars to prepare yourself for the actual day.
Until then, keep enjoying your teenage with love.

Dear Sister, Brothers don’t know and don’t care about how you look
Dear sisters, let’s have a tete-a-tete.
You see, if you ask any brother, his spec in a future wife, if he will not cloth his answer in the garb of spirituality, will go like this;
‘ I love my wife to wear wigs’
‘I will always admire my wife in adimola, adiehin, koloba, weaving, etc’
And many more fantastic things like that.
But the first trust, 95% don’t even know the difference between wigs nor do we even care about any names of many native hairstyles.
Two, if they are probed further, you will discover that most just want to marry a godly sister. In the long run, the sizes of a bum, breasts, shapes, wigs, and hairstyles don’t matter.
Therefore, invest more in what amounts to something than what will not count much in marriage.
Invest more in Christian books, seminars, and conferences than wigs.
Invest in developing a godly character rather than having a big backside
Invest more in being truly a helpmeet to the one than being the most endowed.
The latters are profitable but they profiteth little but the formers profiteth much in marriage.
To your blissful Marriage, cheer🥂🥂🥂

What Bores Me
I found this topic under the daily prompt and I have a nudge to answer it.
You see there is nothing that bored me more than seeing you in an unhappy, frustrating, direction-less, godless, and obviously joyless courtship.
Not to talk of an abusive, and loveless marriage.
That is why I am telling you like I always do and will do, Pray as if marriage is the only serious thing in your life and please judge the book by both its cover and content.
What he/she wears, says, go to, eat, believe (those things we can see) must match what he/she claim to be.
To you joyful courtship, cheereeeee!

Rant of A Nursing Dad
I called this #rantofaNursingdad instead of #talesofanursingdad and there is nothing you can use to convince me that babies are not dictators.
Because this young man with only a birth certificate is the only controlling two university graduates.
How fast or delayed our breakfast is dependent on whether he sleeps through the night or not. Most times, he wakes up just to play.
Who does that? In the middle of the night?
If he hasn’t slept, no sleep for us especially during this heat period.
Dragging plates of Amala as if he will take a morsel.
And daring. The audacity is too much!
Maybe that’s why they are called babies and God blesses us with more of them, hale and healthy in Jesus name.
