Hmm... why is the newly wedded man called groom and the woman called bride? A friend of man got tired of his wife just about six months after wedding. He complained bitterly to me about her and told me that he has concluded to break up with her; he went on to say that he was sure that he made a mistake.
I did not respond immediately because I knew I must tell him that right thing, so I went home and asked the Lord what to say and that is what birth this message. Many men have broken up with their wives because they end up not being the wife that they have dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task.
They won't call the woman wife on her wedding day but bride, because it is the man that will groom his bride to become the wife. That is why the man is called 'groom', and the word grooming has to do with patiently nurturing, teaching, tending and helping someone to become what he or she should be.
It is therefore believed that a man that takes a woman to the altar of marriage is matured enough to patiently groom his bride to become the wife. The man is not supposed to just expect the bride to automatically become the wife, she must be groomed.
Hence, many of us men built unnecessary expectations when we were getting married, we want a magic to happen to our wives, we want them to become what we have had in mind about who we want our wives to be; not considering the fact that the woman does not know what is on your mind except you teach her. Our expectations are often too unrealistic, because we don't remember that change takes time and we can only expect something from someone that knows what we want.
So before you think of breaking up, have you groomed her? Have you given her time to understand you? Hope you realise that a turtle will never become a hawk? God often brings people that are opposites of each other together in marriage so that they can help each other in their place of weaknesses. If your wife is weak where you are weak, then where Will you get strength that is needed?
The problem with many of us is that we don't accept people before attempting to change them. Of course, our wives are not from our backgrounds, so it will take time for them to adjust. Stop trying to change her, accept her, love her, teach her and be patient with her; that is what grooming is all about. She is going to be your wife but she is your bride now, so groom her. Stop complaining about her, she may be a turtle and you a hawk, she cannot fly so be patient with her. I don't believe that your marriage can't work, be patient and allow God to help you.
God bless you.
You better change your circle of friends, if the only thing they talk about is failed marriages and people’s negative experiences in marriage! Don’t let them infect you! #ThePreMaritalSchool
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10”
No human relationship can ever be perfect!
There will be offenses, mistakes and misunderstandings!
Accepting this truth will give you peace and help you forgive perfectly!
When you are filled with the love of Christ, there won’t be any room in your heart for offenses, malice, bitterness, envy and jealousy!
Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 2Samuel 7:18
Marriage is an empty cup, it is what you put in it that you will have in it!
The only way you will enjoy your marriage is when you recognize that you have to keep giving until death do you part!
Unfortunately, many people went into marriage with expectations only!
They went into marriage with what they expect to get from their partner without a continuous willingness to give and to keep giving!
“I do” does not mean I am expecting, it simply means I am ready to go to work!
“I do” simply means I am ready to keep giving even when sometimes I am getting nothing back.
Remember that you only reap what you sow! You can’t sow nothing and expect something!
So get to work and stop complaining about your partner!
I hope you understand?
I believe in your marriage!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, and the flame will not burn you. Isaiah 43:2
But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 23:8-10
Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who hadg the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. Hebrews 2:14-15
Fear will open the door to the devil to oppress you, don’t give fear a chance. Fear is one of the greatest weapon of Satan! Cast that Spirit of fear out right now in the name of Jesus
We just got married!
We had great Hope's that our marriage will be a heaven on earth!
But every day, we were always arguing!
We did not just argued about meaningful things, we argued about meaningless issues.
We argued and fought about the most stupid thing that you can think of.
Suddenly....
A sense of regret started overwhelming both of us!
Did we make a mistake?
Did God really lead us into this marriage?
It was just few months after wedding! The sense of regret was so real!
Nobody told us that marriage was a process!
Nobody told us that the two SHALL BECOME ONE, not that the two HAVE BECOME ONE!
Nobody told us that it will take time!
Nobody told us that it will take making daily efforts to build a home that we always dreamt of having! We thought it will just happen!
We never knew that it will never be automatic!
We did not know that we have to move our marriage manually with patience l.
We did not know that we have to start at the lowest gear before we can get the stable speed of a beautiful marriage!
We just assumed that it will automatically happen!
We thought that all we needed to do was put on the ignition key, start the car and every thing will happen on it's own!
We were wrong!
Thank God! We did not give up!
Thank God, we did not allow the thought that we had made a mistake to throw our marriage into a disastrous end!
It is a process!
My friend!
Don't give up on your marriage!
Are you also thinking that you have made a mistake simply because you argue everyday?
Do you think constant misunderstanding in your marriage means that you are not compatible?
No!!!
It simply means that you are in a process!
And you have to remember that your misunderstandings is a process to understand each other!
Whoever told you that they did not go through the process of arguements and misunderstanding before they begin to understand each other is lying!
Spirituality will not prevent this process!
It will only help you through the process!
It cannot start at 10 my friend, it starts at 1!
It takes time!
Bury your expectations and get to work!
Your differences are real, take your time to understand them! You are both from different worlds with different world view!
The two will eventually become one if you don't give up!
Becoming one is the goal!
But right now! You are not yet there!
You need to be ready to argue, adapt, adjust and agree as you go through this process!
Nothing is wrong with your relationship!
You are just in a process!
With God in the center, you will get it right!
But if your relationship is abusive and violent, seek help immediately!
Marriage is not automatic, it needs your manual efforts!
Nothing do you!
We are still in the process! We are not yet there!
Nothing do you!
I hope this helps?
