There are many things you need to know before they venture into marriage and it is important they get those understandings from people who are already experienced. However, Archbishop Duncan Williams sends an important message to them on things they need to do before marriage.
In the Video, he spoke to the daughters of God and said that marriage involves preparation and capacity. Who you marry has to do with how prepared you are and also depending on who he is, you must develop capacity for the man you are getting married to because if you don't develop capacity, you will end up frustrating the grace and will of God for his life.
He said that Esther was not beautiful more than the one hundred and twenty-four virgins from the one hundred and twenty provinces who came to prepare themselves for the one night with the king. After one year of preparation for one night with the king, she still finds favour in the sight of the king. "We want to marry, yet we are unprepared, many of us don't even know why they want to marry, we just want to marry for no reason," he said.
The Bible says that he that finds a wife, not he that finds a beautiful girl or woman but he that finds a wife. So you have to try to find out what it means to be a wife, there are things that qualify you to be a wife. "Find out those things and work towards it and I assure you that you will attract the right person," he said.
Finally, he advised mothers to teach their daughters how to cook and how to clean because if they cannot take care of themselves, how can they take care of another person. "My dear develop your capacity so that the man you will marry, will need you in his life so that he won't do anything without you in his life because you mean so much to him," he said.
I totally agree with you Archbishop Williams but why must it always be about the women? What about preparing the sons too?
With my humble opinion, I think it takes two people to make a good marriage to work.
