BOYS WILL BE BOYS; NOT MEN! (First Pt)
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
1 Kings 19:18 (KJV)

Yes, there are some truths I would love to share with every lady out there who would want to make the decision of whom to spend the rest active years of their lives with, qualities of the kind of man to say yes to, the kind of man you would be proud of calling your husband, the kind of man women should aspire for or to look out for and of course, to our men, this would help you a great deal as to know the combo qualities of the kind of man that any woman, his family would be proud of and the world will celebrate.
In our world today, we see or hear of people who get married and after a few years get separated or divorced and you wonder, what happened? Majority of the time, these marriages were the ones that had massive celebration, destination weddings, high class celebrity and the creme de la creme of society in attendance and showcased all over social media.
Certainly, they won't tell you where the shoe pinches them or the fears they had as they celebrated but in a matter of few years, it becomes exposed through the same social media.
But you see, many of the problems of separation and divorce can be avoided if only people would choose to be patient, not allow pressures from society push them to making bad choices or better still, choose a life partner that they will be happy with, having no doubts in their hearts or unrest in their souls, someone they can tolerate and most importantly, one that has the fear of God.
In making a marriage work, one of the first important things to decide is to get a 'man' as a husband and not a 'boy'. One might want to say it's impossible to even marry a boy after all, boys are young and immature and don't have what it takes to make a marriage work.
Unfortunately, that's what happens when ladies see a guy and thinks he's legible for marriage all because he drives a car, or has a fat account, talks smooth and walks tall and has a pretty face forgetting that it is not what a man has that makes him a man but what stuff he is made up on his inside.
You see, we can only be children once but can be immature indefinitely and unfortunately, that's the path some men choose to walk on when they do not give priority to certain life's principles.
I would love to share with you some vital qualities that are second to none when it comes to choosing a man as a marriage partner.
Ladies, if you have ever thought that all men are the same where the case is either he smokes or drinks or womanizes and that there are no faithful men anymore then i would love to tell you that's just not the truth.

Just as today's verse connotes that if you think that there are no more men of substance then you are wrong because God Almighty preserves faithful men to Himself and He only gives these men to his own faithful daughters(sure we will talk about what it takes to be a faithful daughter in subsequent posts) . So what are these qualities?
Stick Around, I'd be right back.

Wonderful post. A man that has the fear of God will not hurt his wife not just because of her but because he fears God.

You marry a boy and you become their mother for the rest of your life. The thing is there are always bells that ring in your brain telling you this is all wrong yet we convince ourselves to go on. We are so focussed on the feeling forgetting that this decision needs to be guided too. We do not pray about it and we are in too much hurry like you said.
"Auntie asked me when I am getting married?'' forget about her. It is your life and take it slow.
