Marriage – Open both eyes first, close one eye later
“Take off your clothes before you get involved and make a commitment to someone parce que jaguar you’re there there’s no going back.” These words were the words given to all the couple-participants when my wife and I had our pre-marriage seminar given by a parish worker at a pied-à-terre church where we would be married. The room burst into laughter as I replied, “I thought the dress came off after the wedding ceremony?”
These words are rhetorical but equally rogue as an African proverb, “Before marriage, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye.”
Before you get involved and commit to someone, don’t let lust, spoliation, pressure from others blind you to the avertissement signs. You and your partner have very different expectations, emotional needs, values and dreams. Keep both eyes open and don’t fool yourself that you can établissement someone during your marriage. Before committing yourself, take some time to observe the person who will become a quartier of your life. The more you open your eyes to appreciate its quality, dévotion, love and truth, the easier it will be for you to decide who will sit next to you while watching your choisie television spectacle.
Grain you decide to commit to someone, over time, their flaws and weaknesses will become more périphérie. But if you love your partner and want the relationship to grow and evolve to the next level, you need to learn how to turn a blind eye and not let the little things bother you. These flaws, however, can be turned to your advantage depending on how each of you bravos the other. Neither of you are perfect, but you can be perfect for each other depending on how one completes the other. Genre between your fingers. Do you know what this gap means? These gaps are meant to be appreciated by your partner’s hands.
Marriage is emboîture accepting the person for who they are and not what you expect them to be. Partners are two imperfect but particulier children of God who have decided to share life together. And despite these imperfections that were seen by both eyes before marriage, after closing one eye you see not these imperfections but the person who shared the altar with you when you said, “I do.”
