5 kinds of men you shouldn't marry
Marriage is a very important commitment yet some people don't take it as serious as they should. Many settle down with partners that are way less than what God intended for them due to impatience. Staying single is better than marrying the wrong person. Here are four kinds of men you should'nt marry at all.
An unbeliver: God is very clear on his instructions with regards to this. The bible admonishes us not to be unequally yoked with unbelivers. Yet even as clear as this is, many people still give excuses that they feel justifies their marriage to an unbeliver. Some say they will convert him after marriage. Trust me once you are married to him, converting him to your faith will be about three times more difficult than it was when you guys where still dating. The most likely thing that will happen when you marry an unbeliver is that you begin to grow cold towards the things of God up till the point where you dont consider your service to God neccessary anymore or your faith will be the cause of conflict in your home.
An unfaithful man: this is another kind of man you should not marry. If he is cheating on you now, what makes you think he will stop when he marries you? A man who cannot stay in a relationship with only you will find it difficult staying married to only you. Stay away from such a man now you still have the chance. Dont get married to him because you believe that men will always cheat. That is very untrue because real godly men are faithful to their partners.
A prayerless man: most men want to marry a prayerful women but how many of them take time to be prayerful also. In most Nigerian families today the woman does more of the praying which is not how God intended it to be. The bible says the man is the priest in the home. That means he has the responsibility of standing in the gap for his family before God. Marrying a prayer lazy man will dampen your prayer life because just like the bible said, iron sharpeneth iron.
An abusive man: He hit you once and apologized. You forgave him and he promised not to do it again. Soon he does it again and you go through the same process of apologies and forgiveness. My sister run for your life. Stop making excuses for him. If he has anger issues, then let him deal with it instead of taking it out on you. Don't condone abuse for any reason. If you think he is going through a lot and so you have to understand when hits you then am sorry for you because he will still go through a lot more than that when you both get married. Are you ready to be his punching bag whenever he is under stress?
If you are reading this and you are in a relationship with any of the above mentioned men, don't despair. Talk to him about it, pray about it and even seek professional help. If all these don't work than my dear 'take a walk' and don't look back. Stop worrying about what people will say, stop wondering whether you will find another man if you leave him because you will. Dont allow fear of the unknown to deprive you of the joy God has prepared for you in marriage. All you have to do is serve God with all your heart and at the right time every other thing will be added unto you, matt 6:33. Don't settle for anything less than the best for you. Remember marriage the way God intended it is meant be enjoyed not endured.
God bless you.
