Being quotes from a message, Choosing A Life Partner, by Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFMM) as delivered at a youth church.
– Some people want to get married only so they can have s*x. 5 hours. Then you marry someone who can’t keep up.
– Some marry because they want to be married. Do you become a soldier because you like the uniform? Or a lawyer cos of the wig?
– Stop joining bridal trains if you feel it is putting you under pressure. Don’t do again
– When you write down a year you must be married by, anxiety turns to agitation, then to panic, & then you marry a panic husband
– Some people rush into marriage so they won’t get jilted again. When I see people like that though, I congratulate them because God has delivered them from evil, from the person who isn’t theirs
– Stop joining bridal trains if you feel it is putting you under pressure. Don’t do again
– When you write down a year you must be married by, anxiety turns to agitation, then to panic, & then you marry a panic husband
– People marry for money, forgetting that money can buy bed/food/wedding but not sleep/appetite/a good marriage
– Sisters – I want someone who will carry my load, who will pamper me, I must marry a pilot. You end up with trouble
– Some people marry as an escape route from the troubles with their parents. From frying pan to fire
– Don’t marry out of pity, because you have been given a sob story and (maybe) the person is crying
– Some people marry with foolish expectations. Like, ‘I will convert him’. Did you convert/save yourself? Recipe for trouble
– Marrying for outward beauty or handsomeness is like buying a house just because the paint looks good
– Some people get married because of an unplanned pregnancy. It doesn’t mean you should bury your destiny there
– Some say, ‘I must marry from my town/village’ so any human being who comes from the area, you say ‘I do’ to
– Finally, some people get married to get at/hurt their folks. They do it to make good on a threat, or prove a point
