WHY DID YOU GET MARRIED?

Based on several questions I have been getting since I started how to maximize your life I need to quickly address a few relationship matters

Marriage is a bed of roses! Yes. Because roses have thorns too and for you to lay on your bed comfortably, you need to take off the thorns.

Many people say marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not endured but I dare state here that there cannot be enjoyment without endurance. You don't arrive at a winning marriage overnight. It's like a winning team in football.

If you observe the team carefully, it would occur to you that most of the winning teams today are teams that lost a number of matches years back. As a matter of fact, some of them had to battle with relegation but by sticking in, and resolving to make the team work, they learnt to put the right blend of players and coaching crew together and they started winning.

In my 19years of working with families and 12years of working with troubled marriages I have seen all sorts of marital challenges and we shall be unraveling a lot in this series that will help us tackle some of the situations couples are going through.

One question I often ask in my sessions that most couples fail to answer successfully is "Why did you get married?" And if you are single, "Why do you want to get married to that man or woman?"  Pause and think carefully through the question and you would be shocked at the revelations you will get because there are so many married folks who shouldn’t have gotten married if this question had been answered before hand. 

You might even want to ask your spouse the same question and compare notes. This could be the beginning of your marital bliss and if you are still single you may want to find out why you truly want to get married?

 Your marriage will work, and things will turn around to work for your good. Bring your friends onboard this series. Do have a blissful week ahead.
