Love
rocks! Few things can be compared to the joy of being in a strong,
healthy and happy relationship. But you would agree that relationships
require hard work, time, attention, planning, and executing activities
that ultimately lead to the intimacy and happiness you so desire.
Without the necessary efforts to keep the love alive, the relationship
will wither. Do this for 1, 3 or 8 years, it’s eventually time to walk
down the aisle…and suddenly there is a REVELATION!…which oftentimes
becomes the genesis of a super story.
Let me to introduce you to Lanre –
resourceful, pretty, hardworking Advertising Executive and God-fearing
too. Lanre is engaged to be married to a widower. They have been
together for 4years and she’s ready to tie the knot with the love of her
life. It’s been a long time coming. “Have you asked for God’s blessing
on this wedding? Are you sure he is the man for you? Let us go and seek
God’s face” suggested Aunty Kella.
A visit to a religious leader reveals Lanre is headed for destruction if
she marries le boo. The chances of her dying on her wedding night are
as high as a mountain. Fast forward 3 days and it is end of engagement,
end of her highly anticipated wedding. Lanre is 37.
Now here’s what I think… Deciding whom
you’ll marry is hugely important and will affect extensively the rest of
your life. Given the weight of this decision, it’s only natural to want
reassurance that you’re doing the right thing. What I really do not
understand is why that reassurance should come only from a religious
leader – Pastor or Alfa in our part of the world.
No offense, but why is he seeing this
vision when the couple is a step away from singlehood? Why not see it in
their 1st or 2nd year of dating? Is it the same vision that gives a man
the audacity to walk up to a woman and tell her that God has revealed
to him that the lady in question is his wife when in actuality, all he
has done is donate handsomely to a religious leader so that he will see
the vision to his advantage?
Whilst it’s okay to seek HIS guidance in the choice of a marriage mate,
where exactly do you draw the line? Whatever happened to praying on your
own or with your would-be spouse?
What do you think? Would you listen to a
religious leader’s advice to leave the man/woman of your dreams because
he foresees danger…after dating le boo for only God-knows-how-long?
Your heart tells you to stay. You know you are meant for each other, you
have invested so much in the relationship. 5 years no be beans.
Breaking your heart and his is the least
thing you want to do right now. Would you go ahead and cancel your
wedding or would you listen to the late Joan Rivers who said – “Don’t
follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your
spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.”
Please indulge us, what has He revealed to you while reading this article? Pray, tell!
