IMPORTANCE OF VISION FOR A THRIVING MARRIAGE

-

 As promised, I'm excited to share the second practical principle for a thriving marriage, drawn from my almost 40 years of experience in a successful marriage. This principle is the foundation upon which all other aspects of a healthy relationship are built: having a vision. Growing up in a polygamous home, I witnessed firsthand the effects of an abusive marriage. My father's lack of love and care for my mother had a profound impact on our family, and I knew from a young age that I wanted something different for myself and my future family. I made a conscious decision to break free from the cycle of polygamy and create a better life for myself and my loved ones.

My vision was clear: I would have a monogamous marriage, provide unconditional love and care for my children, and support them in achieving their educational goals. This vision has been the driving force behind my actions and decisions throughout my marriage. Even when challenges arose and it seemed like giving up would be the easier option, my vision kept me going.Having a vision for your marriage is crucial because it:

1. Provides direction and purpose

2. Inspires and motivates

3. Helps navigate conflicts and challenges

4. Fosters commitment and dedication

5. Creates a sense of unity and shared goals

In my own marriage, my vision has been the glue that holds us together. My wife and children know that I am their rock, their confidant, and their biggest supporter. They feel secure in the knowledge that I will always be there for them, no matter what.

If you're looking to build a thriving marriage, I encourage you to take the time to reflect on your own vision. What do you want your marriage to look like? What values and principles do you want to uphold? What kind of relationship do you want with your partner and children.Remember, having a vision is not a one-time event, but a continuous process. It requires effort, commitment, and dedication. But I promise you, the rewards are well worth it. Proverbs 29: 18a " where there is no vision the people perish" Habakkuk 2:2-3 " And the Lord answered me and said: write the vision, make it plain on tablets, that they may run that readeth it ........".

One of the main reason marriage are collapsing and many are opting out for single parenting is lack of vision of what you are looking for in marriage.Many are into marriage just for pleasure, for artificial gain etc, so when such is not accomplished they call it quit. Our marriage aim must always be to honour God the author of marriage.

Principle on how to subdue obstacles or mountain

 For us to move to the next level and be celebrated, there is always an obstacle or a mountain to subdue. There can never be a celebration without a battle that is won or an obstacle that you have overcome. David is a man that understand the principle of conquering a giant. In 1 Samuel 17:33-45 , he was faced with Goliath, David was not afraid like king Saul and his brothers but reminded himself of his past victories through the help of God. In order to overcome any giant-like challenges we face in life,it is important to remember past successes and remind ourselves of our capabilities. Just like David did when he faced Goliath with confidence, we need to think back to times when we've achieved something difficult in difficult circumstances and be reminded that the same strength and willpower that got us through before can help us conquer our current challenge. By focusing on your achievements rather than on the difficulty of the task ahead and visualizing yourself as successful ...

 Embracing patience . Slow and steady, you will navigate through life's challenges and emerge victorious. The conventional path may not always be the best one. Sometimes, it's the road less traveled that leads to the most fulfilling destinations. One man explained his experience in a blocked expressway that reflects our journey in life, read on. I was few kilometres away from Ibadan in Nigeria and vehicles ahead started making u-turn. It was the 5th driver who offered to tell me "EXPRESS TI BLOCK " The express road is blocked" in a hurry. I pulled over and asked God what I should do. I was pacing to catch an appointment.  An old farmer emerged attempting to cross. I alighted and greeted him, grinning.  He knew about the accident that locked the traffic down. It was apparent I needed help and he was gracious to me.  Values are local! One good place to experience humanity is in the village.  Baba told me there's a way but it's dusty, long and rough. His con...
