Before you say i do
Before you take this lady you are dating to the altar, take time to investigate her story.
1 Check up all her references discretely without letting her know what you are doing.
2 Ask questions from her friends, go to her church, working place or school and find out what kind
of person she really is.
3 If she has hopped several churches, find out what of reputation she had in those churches.
4 People are not usually whom they seem to be at first. First impressions sometimes sometime can be
Deceitful
5 Has she been married before? Find out why she is seperated from her husband. What caused her marriage to break up? Has she been
engaged to marry before? How far had she gone with the wedding arrangements before it broke up? What was responsible for it.
6. How Many engagements has she broken now?.
7 Leave no stone unturned. What is her spiritual history? If she says she is born again, when, where and how did it happen?
8 Check out her private life, not what she shows you on the outside. The last time you visited her, what was she doing? what you see in her now
is what you get when you marry her.
9 A woman that loves you has the ability to make you overlook all other aspects of life.
10 Take her to your pastor. Go through a period of counseling. If she refuses to go with you consider dumping her now. If she looks too perfect, you
must insist on that counseling or live to regret it. The ones who look life a perfect 10 turn out to be below 5 in the end.
11. Take her to your senior friends who have stable and enviable marriages, let them talk to her.
12. After you have done your very best to investigate her past, go into prayer. Nothing can be hidden from the spirit of God.
13. Dont resist the wisdom of God. You can have temporary joy with this woman and suffer future torture if you dont follow the advice of your counselor,
pastor and parents. Most especially follow your heart and your deepest instinct.
14. If she has a child either out of wedlock or from a previous marriage, can you love her and her child the way they are without any strings attached? Are you
emotionally matureenough to handle the situation of being a stepfather?
15. Remember that after you say. I do she becomes your wife. You become her provider, protector, priest and partner. Open your eyes wide before you make that decision.
