Most people enter into marriage with high expectations and low preparation, which can lead to devastation. Only to be disappointed, frustrated, and becoming unhappy with their marriage, and sometimes sadly they decide to break their marriage.

Marriage can be one of the greatest paradoxes of life: Marriage can be the greatest attraction or the greatest distraction. Marriage can enhance your destiny or destroy your destiny. Marriage can be the most beautiful thing or the most dangerous thing in life. Marriage can be the greatest source of joy and can also be the greatest source of frustration. Marriage can be the most precious dream, but it can also become a nightmare overnight.  Marriage can be the greatest source of hope, but marriage can also be the greatest source of fear because the people in the relationship are not sure that they can make it. Don’t take marriage lightly.

Marriage can be the closest thing to hell or the closest thing to heaven. If you want your spouse to be an angel, you need to create a heaven for them; angels don’t live in hell, but demons do.

Marriage does not start at the wedding and continue, to go on forever all by itself. Marriage needs to be worked on day-by-day! And it will be only as good as the investment you put in to it.

The best time to build a dam is not when there is a flood. The best time is now. Your best time to work on your marriage is NOW.

Marriage rocks when you are best friends, when affection and sex are well balanced, when God is your priority, when you can have dialogue, when romance is present, when you know how to have fun, when you have a wise financial strategy, when there’s forgiveness and you can make up.
