Thoughts for Today - "Marriage 101 (Part 3)"

From Part 2, it's inferred dat d partners' 'proven' Love for God (which is beyond just church attendance) is d major spiritual foundation upon which a lasting marriage can be built and no one can truly show true love witout understanding God's love, no matter how nice d person may seem...
The issue of 'Compatibility' then comes to play, which many equally misinterpret...Compatibility on spiritual matters, doctrines and values have d most important role,  as their is no true unity without unity in spirit (an example, one partner believes in being born again and speaking in tongues by Holy Ghost baptism, and d other partner doesn't, and yet they pray together hoping to be a couple or worst of all, d other is a stack unrepentant unbeliever wit proofs...Realy more serious dan funny!)...Spiritual compatibility test should be first before any other, while building a lasting 'Foundation'...
However, other considerations also exists as 'Pillars' (such as character and temperament compatibility tests, 'inward' qualities which one finds pleasing, being best friends and yet lovers, personal choices of race, family background, age, education level, giftings or talents, career line,and so on)...All those play vital roles in 'reducing' issues of misunderstandings between partners bearing in mind dat one cannot find a perfect partner anywhere...
Also important are d physical 'outward' qualities (such as personal likes of beauty, complexion, height, weight size, body build, shape, and so on)...Being humans having fleshly desires and also knowing dat attraction often begins by sight for many; outward appearance must be considered, though must 'never' be used as  foundation; they may be considered as just d outward decorations of the marriage building which have a natural tendency of instability or fading away anytime...
None of the above should be used as a replacement for d most important 'spiritual' foundation  which is d principal determinant of how long d marriage building will stand and also d only safety route if eventually there is an advent of an  unexpected negative change or d event of spiritual attacks in d future...Therefore, It will only amount to folly and absurdity for one to start thinking of correcting a foundational error when d building has been erected already...Again! Its possible, but 'only' d Holy Spirit has dat ability...

To be continued...On Part 4 - Is there really God's will/choice of a partner for one?...Has God made one particular right partner somewhere which one must pray to locate n must marry?...What about those who married as unbelievers without praying for d right partner and yet have d best homes after repenting?....What about one's right to choose not to marry at all allowed in d Bible, What happens to the other God-made partner??...What about widows or widowers allowed to remarry, by d Bible, Would they be marrying someone else's God-made partner as 2nd wife/husband????...
To be discussed 2moro...
