... Advise to a Single Girl
Gone are the days when, wise
counsel was contrived solely from our much older relatives... In fact gone are
the days when girls could only talk to their female relatives. The bible says in Job 32:8 "But There IS a Spirit in man, the breathe of God, that gives them understanding" And this evening I want to bless my friends, my mentors and leaders for their pieces of advises on varying issues on marriages and relationships.

{After profusely blessing my relationship (future) she said}: Give people time. Time uncovers and unfolds the layers that cover the personality/ the first impression you have of a guy. You meet a person and you think he is painfully shy. You think, his kind of introversion cannot live or even match up with your vibrant, active and extrovert personality. At intervals, you are tempted to think, he is a little too dull for you. But with time, you realize his personality is exactly what you needed to accommodate yours. When you speak in haste, he listens... And when he speaks you believe. So yes lady, give people time. Let God and time uncover him for you.

{On the matters of finances... and deciding the importance of his profession in agreeing to settle down with him}: The basic foundation of deciding whether or not to settle with a man is by first determining if he/she is the person you want to grow old with. Know him as a person - his likes and dislikes, his tastes and preferences, hobbies, etc. Whatever you do, ensure that he is born again and that he has a relationship with God. Deal/ seek/ pursue/ understand him as a person rather than solely what he does/ has. Aside from that, know that "marriage is an AGREEMENT between TWO people, in the presence of God". So.... er.... what are you agreeing to when you decide to settle down with this person, in terms of mulah?

A woman's role as a wife is to address the weaknesses of her husband. A story is told in Exodus 4:25 About how God wanted to kill Moses for neglecting the rite of circumcision on his son. It was Zipporah's wisdom that spared the life of her husband in the presence of God. And the stories go on and on.... Think of Abigail, Nabal's wife... He saved his husband's life from the wrath of David. So woman, understand that when God instituted marriage, he was creating Adam a helper, and you should not grow weary of helping your husband. It is written in Proverbs 18:22 "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord"
Grace Mutinda : Face every battle, every encounter on your knees.
Faith Teddy: Take everything one day at a time, everything falls in place with time.
From an article somewhere: Singles, you do not get the person that you desire, you get the one you deserve... Cause two people cannot walk together unless they AGREE (Amos 3:3). Don't expect to get a hardworking individual, if you are lazy. Don't expect a loving/ respectful partner when you do not love or respect yourself.
Morris Kioko: A man who is into you, a man who loves you wears you like a tie - in front his family, friends, his mates... He does not treat you like some dirty or embarrassing secret. He is proud of you he flaunts you, he thinks fondly of you, he wants to you to be part of his personalized possession, he wants to be in yours. True, with time the chemistry between couples might dwindle alittle, but that coldness kicks in after being over ten years in marriage and like four children later, not when a relationship is barely three years old. Be with a man who loves you desperately. A man who is sleepless about you.
