Don’t marry that girl, If the wig she’s wearing is more expensive than the thoughts she carries... Don’t marry her if her daily obsession is how to appear rich instead of how to become truly valuable. Because a beautiful face without a beautiful mind will frustrate your future. The glow will fade, but ignorance will remain and that’s not a battle you want to fight in marriage. We now live in a generation that mistakes aesthetic for identity. A girl can spend ₦150,000 on a wig but would never invest ₦15,000 in a course that could sharpen her skills or expand her opportunities. She can name the brands of luxury perfumes and trending lip glosses, but can’t hold a five-minute conversation on purpose, business, or wisdom. She will spend hours in front of a mirror but won’t spend 20 minutes with a book. And somehow… she believes this is what makes her “wife material.” No, brother. Don’t be deceived. Marry a woman who builds herself. A woman who is as interested in growing her mind as she is in styling her edges. A woman who can slay a dress, but also slay in business strategy and purpose planning. One who understands that while beauty may open doors, only value will keep her in the room. Don’t marry a woman whose greatest goal in life is to trend. Marry one whose life is intentional. Purposeful. Directional. A woman who is not waiting for you to complete her life, but preparing herself so that you both complement each other. The truth is, a woman who refuses to grow her mind will be a burden, not a blessing in marriage. You’ll spend your life trying to fill the gaps her immaturity creates, emotionally, mentally, and even financially. “Beauty without intelligence is like a masterpiece painted on a napkin.” And yes, this isn’t to shame any woman who loves to look good. There’s nothing wrong with luxury. But it becomes dangerous when that’s all there is. … So my brother, when you finally meet her, make sure that you help her become better. _____ 📷 Internet Yours Inspiration, Kathryn Esther Clement #HeavenlyMandate
