Marriage requires two people who understand values, discipline, responsibility, and order.
The word of God declared:
“Every house is built by someone, ......" (Hebrews 3:4).
Every house built according to God's principles, get His blessings and grace.
When a house is built outside divine principles, we're indirectly telling God that we don't want Him around our building.
When such structure meets chaos, conflict or total collapse becomes inevitable.
A house that is not built by God's values and principles will be swallowed by divorce.
8. Mentorship and Discipleship Are Identity Builders
Identity is discovered faster in submission, not independence. You can't structure yourself to discover who you're, and at the same time finding your purpose in isolation. You need a support system, an accountability partner and an experienced mentor.
If you are serious about building identity, you have to consider taking the following steps:
✓ Submit to mentorship.
✓ Submit to discipleship.
✓ Submit to accountability.
Even Jesus submitted Himself to growth (Luke 2:52).
Isolation delays self-discovery. Accountability accelerates maturity.
Marriage is not a place to learn discipline for the first time.
9. Identity Crisis Is the Root of Marital Toxicity
Most abuse, manipulation, control, infidelity, and divorce can be traced back to unresolved identity and purpose issues.
A whole person loves without suffocating the other. Leads without controlling. Submits without losing self. Serves without resentment.
My advice to anyone reading this piece are:
✓ Do not rush into marriage.
✓ Find your identity.
✓ Discover your purpose first
✓ Become whole.
When you have reached this peak, you can then look for someone who has done the same.
Marriage is not for the confused, the unstructured, or the emotionally unstable. It is for those who have learned order, values, discipline, and purpose.
Strong marriages are built by whole people.
