MARRIAGE WILL TEST YOU
1. IT WILL TEST YOUR MATURITY
Especially during conflicts. Will you be mature enough to solve them, or will you be childish, dramatic and selfish?
2. IT WILL TEST YOUR LOVE
It is easy to tell someone "I love you", but your commitment will be tested especially when you disagree, offense is done or challenges show up
3. IT WILL TEST YOUR FRUIT
Do you bear the Fruit of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control? Marriage will reveal this
4. IT WILL TEST YOUR PATIENCE
There will be moments your spouse or children don’t get it right as quickly as you want them to, how will you handle it?
5. IT WILL TEST YOUR HUMILITY
Will you be humble enough to apologize when wrong, humble enough to ask for help from your spouse? When you are better at something more than your spouse, will be full of yourself telling your spouse why can't he/she be like you? Or will you be humble enough to acknowledge you are the person that you are, not because of your sole effort or you are better than, but because God has been working on you?
6. IT WILL TEST YOUR WORDS
It is easy to speak words and give promises. In marriage you will be held to account. It will be revealed whether you mean what you say
7. IT WILL TEST YOUR CHARACTER
To outsiders you may pretend, but most often, your true character will be seen at home, outside of the public
8. IT WILL TEST YOUR SPIRIT
Do you claim to believe in God? Well, how you treat your spouse will reveal whether you are led by the flesh: full of rudeness, revenge, treachery, conceited and insults; or by the Spirit
9. IT WILL TEST YOUR FAITH
Many times as a couple or alone you will believe in God for something and it takes long to materialize. There will be moments when it will be questioned whether you believe the prayers you made for your marriage in the past
