One of the mistakes people make during dating or courtship is not paying attention to all the signs and symptoms of future troubles. A man that would disable or kill his wife in the future may have slipped in and out of anger, raised his hands or threatened the woman. Some women may be in denial of all the red flags and comfort themselves by saying “he will change once we get married”. NO! He will show his true colors when you get married. The abuse will be worse. He won’t change!
Another one is a baby husband, a man that wants to bear the title ‘husband’ or ‘father’ but doesn’t have a clue about the responsibilities that come with the title(s). A man that doesn’t know how to fend for himself. How would he know how to provide for his family? Beware of such men! God did not create man to be like that. God made man and gave him responsibilities. Genesis 2:15; Ephesians 5:23: 1Timothy 3:8.
In like manner, bachelors, look before you leap. Don’t embrace what you’ll not be able to untangle after marriage. Getting married to an abusive wife is a nightmare! Marriage can not fix your partner. Beware of evil ladies! Proverbs 7:1-27
You don’t have to marry that man or that woman you know 😉
Remember, prevention is better and cheaper than cure!
- You don’t have power to change anyone.
- You need to love yourself before you love your neighbor
- Don’t ignore all the red flags
- Abuse, selfishness, bitterness…is not love
- Love is not blind!
- Run for your life now before it’s too late!
