SERIES TITLE: WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND REALIZE YOU MAY BE IN THE WRONG BOAT: Marriage, Destiny, Purpose, and What To Do Next
One of the greatest misconceptions among men is the belief that marriage will somehow complete them. It will not.
Marriage does not create purpose. Marriage actualy reveals whether purpose already exists.
Your wife is not your life coach.
She is not your therapist, your mother or destiny preparation center.
Many men enter marriage hoping a woman will solve problems they should have addressed years earlier.
Lack of discipline, direction, vision and lack of responsibility.
Marriage magnifies these deficiencies. It does not erase them.
A man’s preparation for destiny should begin in his father’s house. Long before engagement.
Long before courtship and marriage.
A father should prepare his son to understand responsibility, stewardship, leadership, service, vision, and purpose.
He should teach him how to manage money, honour commitments, build rather than consume, serve rather than demand and lead by example rather than by authority alone.
A prepared man enters marriage ready to contribute. Not merely ready to receive.
He understands that a wife is a partner in purpose, not a replacement for personal development.
Marriage works best when two prepared people come together. Not when two confused people hope marriage will somehow solve their confusion. When person gives their all fir a stable family and the other gives the barest minimum for empty living, it sabotages efforts and cancels out the productivity and efficiency of the other.
Parents who desire to raise purpose-driven daughters should study Single and Soaring, The Power Couple Marriage Blueprint, Heaven’s Parenting Manifesto, and Unleashing the Genius in Your Child. These resources provide practical tools for preparing children for destiny and healthy relationships.
