Bible Reading: Proverbs 3: 5-8
Memory Verse: Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way. Proverbs 19:2 (ESV)
Other symptoms of a sick relationship include:
7. He/she Magnifies Your Fault But Excuse Theirs: When you confront him for always being too angry, he says, “That’s me. I have a bad temper”. But, this same person complains that you always nag. Develop the humility to accept that you too can be wrong. You won’t be a better person if you don’t accept you can be wrong. Don’t excuse your faults but hold other people responsible for theirs. In addition, don’t transfer the responsibility of your weaknesses to the other party. Don’t say, “If you didn’t make me angry, I wouldn’t have been abusive and violent.” Sir, anger is already in your blood, a situation only provoked it! Take responsibility.
8 False Conformity And Adjustment That Won’t Last: If he/she is not born again, forcing him/her to come to Church, pay his/her tithe, pray, fast, etc, will only lead to pretense. You know he smokes but because of the pressure of age, you continue in the relationship. He will turn your home into a chimney and bar house after marriage. It is very easy to grow in iniquity. Marriage is a life long journey. Be sure before you enter the only institution where you receive a certificate before starting the course.
9. There Is Another Person In The Picture – An “ex” Or A “next”: Why should you know that there is another woman in the relationship and you stay put in such a relationship? Are you ready to be a second wife? Honour and value yourself. Should you continue in that relationship, then, that person is justified treating you to the level you have reduced yourself.
N.B: God chose your spouse for you; you saw her in a vision, dream, through a prophetic direction, etc, does not automatically translate to a happy home. You both MUST work hard at it to make it work.
Quote: Make sure you marry someone of similar core values.
Prophetic Decree: I arrest any legal ground of the enemy in your home, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
