I was led to Re-share this particular article this morning for someone out there. I hope it helps...
The saying that "love is blind" is true but marriage is the tool to open the eyes of blind love. You will discover the real personality of man after marriage. He/she could do anything to impress you in courtship. You may have a list of his good deeds, generosity, and good qualities while you are yet unmarried, but marriage is the true ground for the assessment of a man.
A man could pretend to be anything but himself until he gets hooked to you in marriage. That is why many people complain and regret that the lamb they courted has turned into a lion in marriage. The fact is that he has always been a lion, only that he was hiding in a lamb's skin. Don't be deceived.
It follows then that if courtship which ought to bring out the best in a partner brings out the worse in him or her, what happens in marriage? If your courtship is characterized by quarrels, what do you imagine of your marriage if you go ahead in the relationship. A broken courtship is better than a broken home. Your courtship predicts your marriage and the rest of your life.
There may be sincere disagreement in courtship which are not strong reasons enough to break relationship with a partner. But for a courtship to be so full of troubles that you are almost getting suffocated is enough to break the relationship in order to remain alive.
Courtship is a period, in the journey towards marriage, when a prospective partner tries to be his or her best. It is the testing ground for survival or failure of the future relationship. The courtship that is already full of troubles and quarrels to settle calls for fresh prayer.
Take heed.
