4. The practice of love
• You must not choose a life partner you are not willing to love for the rest of your life.
• Be willing to share your genuine love with.

• Marriage minus love equals frustration and wreckage.

5. It is the bedrock of support and safety (Eccl 4:9-10)
• A major assignment is to keep your spouse on their feet 24/7 physically and spiritually.
• If you don’t support that person, you are contributing to their failure.

6. Marriage facilitates victory (Eccl 4:10-12, Gen 25:21)
• Victory is assured when the matrimony is in order.
• Stand to win battles on behalf of your spouse.
• Present matters to God in prayer.
• Never waste people’s time if you are not ready to be with them.

Wrong reasons why people marry
1. Because they are of age
2. They are unable to control themselves to fulfill fleshly desires
3. Because they want to change their title (e.g they want to be called mrs)
4. They are tired of fending for themselves
5. Because they want to show pity to a person
6. Because they want to get permanent residence outside their country
7. They no longer want to be at their mother and father’s place

PRAYER POINT:
