wedding vs marriageWedding day and marriage are one of the most important days in life which every one looks forward to especially females. It’s a day where the kind of dream wedding you have ever imagined comes to reality. Much would have been done for the cakes, party, hall, decoration, clothing, food and drinks. In fact, much is done for the wedding than the marriage. I’m sure you know that!
Marriage is a union of two people who are in love, not of same sex but of the opposite sex who wish to live together for the rest of their lives having carefully look for who to marry amidst several criteria.
However, wedding is the ceremonial activity whereby prospective couples are pronounced as husband and wife. No doubt it’s a day of bliss but beyond this day, only few people prepare adequately for marriage. Success in marriage isn’t about how glamorous your wedding is but by how prepared and informed you are to walk down the isle of marriage despite the challenges that would come up in it.
Enjoy the vital things you need to know about wedding and marriage.
1. Wedding is an event but marriage is a journey Events are temporal and would never last as much as one would walk through a journey. It is good to have a great event but it’s best to have a successful journey. To have a successful journey is to be mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually ready to embark on it. For instance, would you terminate a journey because your car developed a fault when you know the importance of it? No, you wouldn’t do that but repair the car and move on. So is it with marriage. Only those who are fully prepared can ultimately reach their destination in a journey. When two of you have the mindset that there’s no turning back, it’s only then that your marriage can be successful
. 2. It takes many to make a wedding successful but only three to make marriage work Have you realized how true that is? Two many cooks don’t spoil the brooks when it comes to a great wedding. You know why? You need the inputs of events planners, decorators, caterers and the likes. Once you’re cash up, you’ll have a successful wedding.
But when it comes to marriage you don’t need the input of many people or else the marriage will collapse. You have to detach yourself and marriage from external influences that would ruin it. You need God to be a part of your union not man. A husband, wife and God would make a bond that cannot be easily broken. But if you bring someone else into your marriage, their influence alone is enough to destroy it. You don’t need the influence of people to have a successful marriage but walking with God will guarantee you success. 3. Marriage is a lifelong commitment but wedding is a one-time ceremony When you have this mindset about marriage, you’ll do much in getting yourself prepared for the commitment ahead instead of focusing more on the ceremonial aspect of it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a nice wedding but what’s more important is the marriage. At least, 70% of your efforts should be channeled to the marriage instead of the wedding.
Spend more to equip yourselves with both spiritual and marital knowledge. Attend seminars, read books together, pray and grow together instead of having an expensive wedding ceremony.
4. People can forget a good wedding but will never forget a bad marriage Have you taken time to survey the number of glamorous weddings that has been done in the past in relation to the duration of their marriage? How many of those marriage lasted even the one of celebrities? Do more to make your marriage last than to make your wedding the talk of the town. Carefully and prayerfully choose who to marry instead of allowing physical appearance lead you. Have a good and mutual mindset of making it work rather than leaving the kitchen when the heat is much. God never intended divorce in marriage it’s the human way of terminating the relationship. If you’re ready not to back out in marriage, you’ll do much to make it successful.
