Message summary & scripture references
On the podcast today I am sharing with you seven (7) things I wish I knew before I got married. I am sharing this because a successful marriage doesn’t happen automatically it requires deliberate work to make it a success. Here are the 7 things:
- The financial cost of marriage is way more than being single
- It’s hard to reverse the debt mindset after you get married
- You must make a serious effort to fairly divide your time between your spouse and your vision
- Dating only gives you a small picture of the person you are marrying
- The Bible never gave males and females defined domestic roles
- Enjoy the time with your spouse before you have kids
- Love is not a feeling or an emotion but a commitment and act of unconditional service
