Marrying right

Everybody advises young people to marry right; most elders, religious leaders and relationship counselors agree that choosing the right life partner is crucial for emotional well-being and peace. They stress that your choice of partner significantly influences your life’s path. They are right, but…..

I believe that marrying the right person is no guarantee of a successful union, a more important question arises: Are you the ideal partner for the person you’ve chosen? Can they confidently say they’ve made the right choice after marrying you? Do you embody peace, happiness, and harmony, or do you bring chaos and sorrow?

Aspiring to marry the right person is admirable, but having a bad attitude yourself can destroy the peace and happiness of both partners. Being with the right person is just the beginning; being the right partner is more important. Most people enter marriage with the best intentions, having found their ideal match. However, a few months or years into the marriage, things can fall apart due to character flaws in one or both partners.

Even if you marry an angel, a toxic attitude and behavior can still sabotage the union. In reality, the success of a marriage hinges more on your own character and approach than on finding the perfect partner. By being a good partner, you can inspire even the most challenging partner to treat you with love and respect.

While you are looking for the right partner, it’s essential to introspect and develop the right attitude and mindset necessary for a thriving partnership. Cultivate a willingness to compromise, sacrifice, understand, forgive, love, respect, submit, protect, and provide. Prioritize your partner’s needs, and strive to embody the qualities you desire in a partner. – Sir Stanley Ekezie
