Many people are so desperate to want to get married and would not even try to make enquiry of who they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Is he someone staying forever with? Will I be able to have Joy with her?

One of the purposes of going into marriage is to think if you would last with him or her. Apart from character or attitude, you still need to know more about each other which is the background you both came from. What do they practice in your lineage?

Do they guarantee peace in their lineage? Apart from that, there is enough reasons to go into prayer to commit your marriage into God's hand but failure to do this, you miss it all.


This story would open your eyes to things you don't know. This is a true life story I heard some years back and I still keep it in my heart that everyday, I decide I must not be in a hurry to marry him until I know who he is, his family and tradition.

There was a man who had a wife and two children. They were happily married and sent their children to the best school in town. This wife never knew his family, so after the first child, she kept disturbing her husband to let her know his family. All he would say was that "very soon, you will know them".

They got married because the lady became pregnant for him when they were dating. The lady wasn't ready to abort it and so they both agreed to be together as couple. After the first child, then came the second child.

When the man saw he was always troubled and disturbed of his wife wanting to know his family. He decided to take her and the children to his home town. They set out in his car this morning and were traveling. It took them long hours to get to the village. They finally got there at night and so the car couldn't go forward, he packed it somewhere and they started to trek to their own house.

As they were going, the wife noticed something. There were snakes moving on the ground and the man was bowing as respect to them. The wife furious and shocked to what is happening, she couldn't ask any other question but was afraid. She took her Children firmly with her and the man was leading the way.

The snakes didn't hurt them because of this man. Till they got to their own hut, the snakes were greeting each other. They greeted the parents who are now in human form and the wife was happy that she got to see her husband's family except for the father who was dead.

Everyone was around and the man introduced his wife and children to them and they were so happy that their son had married and even with children.

After everyone had eaten and the man had gone to sleep, the wife was still not getting it. So the husband's mother came to her and they both were talking. It was then the woman revealed themselves to her. She told her they were snakes and her husband turned into a human form to go out there to look for a wife as he was the next to be crowned king after his Dad's demise.

The wife couldn't believe her eyes. She attempted to run away but she couldn't. That was how she lived with them in the hut as the man became king after his father.


Do you think it is everyone you see out there that are real?. I said in my previous post about reincarnation. Some people already died and are still living among us but how do we know them?

Some are sent from the spirit realm for their mission to be accomplished.

There was a lady in my department and living in my hostel. She is a Christian and one day, her father in the Lord came to visit her and as she took the man round our school. She got home that day and the man started telling her what he saw in our school. Different People physically but spiritually, some are animals with big horns on their head.

Only the ones God opened their eyes to see the secret would know what is going on in this world. Some aren't real. They might be walking with their legs physically but they are actually walking with their heads spiritually. We only need God to open our eyes to see what is going on.

If this lady had prayed to God, perhaps she wouldn't even have gone into the relationship with the man but many of us are in a rush to go into that Relationship with him or her and not minding who he or she really is.

God ordained marriage between a man and a woman and it is mandatory we seek His face before entering into that contract. Ask God to reveal who he or she is to you and you will know the right one for you.

Not every man or woman is real. Some are sent from the devil and we must be careful not to fall victim.

Thanks for reading

Despite these things we see every day, some people still walk blindly and carelessly into marriage. It is a forever journey that must be planned properly and part of the planning involves traveling with a suitable partner through God plans for us.

Awesome story Princess! I shiver at the thought of the snake part.. Anyway.. Marriage is one life decision that is best prayed for and about. There will still be a lot of things to discover and uncover even after the vows that is why it is best peppered with prayers on both sides even way before the decision to marry. To some they would look for accountability partners to watch their backs. It is easy to get blindsided at some point. Nonetheless, no marriage is 100% scot free. It is still two different cultures getting blended forming another culture. Getting to know each other's background before the vows can at least give you a wider planar view of what you are getting yourself into :D. Although not everyone's eyes will see the spiritual side of things.

It is a happy thought though.. despite your odd background, that someone will still take you in. Marriage after all is the best picture of God's unconditional love towards us.

The generation we have found ourselves has made it so hard for us to understand the importance of that traditional part of the marriage rites, that allows a man or woman to go in search of a better knowledge of who their spouse is before marriage.

You are right. All we want now is to settle down quick and getting to know each other will come after. Some would even say it doesn't matter that it is all about love. It isn't love alone at some point.

Marriage is a sacred thing and should not be put in a rush. It's the same with other simple things that can be retrieved at any moment... That's the reason why I don't want to get marriedn🤣 things that can be stopped any moment

No, inasmuch as you don't want to get married, something will make you go for it later. Lol We just need to be careful and pray to God about it and He will help us.

The major problem is when we choose to select for ourselves rather than ask God for direction. We don't pray to change the will of God but to bring ourselves to subject to His Will. When we choose based on human standards, we are bound to get ourselves into trouble. God knows everything and that's why we need to commit our ways into His hands.

Most people get themselves into trouble due to pressure - either about their age or from their family. Societal pressure isn't helping either but this is a lifetime commitment that requires due diligence and of course, God. We can't just accept anyone at face value because this is a forever journey. The same society that pressures you to get married would start counting when you divorce because it is more than you bargained for and that's why others try to withstand and endure what they are not even supposed to.

We should never make a long term commitment without committing it into God's hands. I am always against those who choose to marry each other because they have a baby together. I know some work out but then not in all cases. The mistake has already been made so we shouldn't add more to it by getting married because we have a baby together. Everything calls for due consideration and involving God in it.

I really appreciate your comment and how you responded to this article. The truth is when we don't give in for God to take over our lives especially in the aspect of marriage, we are bound to regret at the end. He knows the right and best thing for us as per choosing the right partner and if we allow pressure from friends or family to make us go into this, we would not like ourselves at all. They won't be there when trouble comes, then, it would be our cross. To prevent such from happening, we need God. Thanks so much Sir

This is so scary, a big eye opener to singles and searching out there oo...no be about wealth and riches. The problem most times is the pressure to get married it's just everywhere and God is not always involved in the process. That one was just shake seen a scenario where all of them where demons.

May God help us....

Back in the days we do have people we call "Alarena" (middleman). He helps the couple to investigate the background, family history and taboos. This helps the Two parties alot.

But now it's me and my boyfriend or me and my girlfriend. I don't even need to know his/her family.

The place of knowing your partner is key, both has got to be compatible, if not it'll be a marriage of all. All things have to be tabled and review before take off. Lovely article ❤

There are others, despite your thorough background check, will only reveal his true self after the marriage. Even though his lineage is good but because of some current circumstances it changes the man to be bad.

Also seeking God's face can save one from troubles in the home. The lineage may be good as you said but it all pens down to the character of both partners In all, praying to God will save also
