God used the process of writing this book to teach me some top secrets about marriage that I did not know before I got married. I am sure that I would have avoided some tensions in our marital journey. Now I know better:
- My wife is also my sister. She is a daughter to her parents and I am a son (in law) to her parents.
- If marriage is for happiness, then only the married will be happy.
- Since my marriage illustrates the relationship between Christ and the Church, then there should be no time when my love for my spouse will cease.
- The meaningful marriage leads to a happy marriage. I will experience happiness as a fruit if I find the meaningful marriage.
- I have the right to fight back but my responsibility is to love my spouse no matter the obstacle or offence.
- I will be unfaithful to my spouse if I am not first faithful to God. My wife should be a beneficiary of my faithfulness to God.
- Marriage is a temporary journey. It is not needed in heaven, but we are needed. However, what is temporal can affect what is eternal.
- Marriage does not have to be peaceful for it to be meaningful. God may be using a situation to make me better; to grow me in my relationship with Him.
- I am not doing anything extraordinary if I only love those who love me or kind only to my friends. Even unbelievers can do that.
- Betrayals are from within. The definition of within can vary, but there must first be a sharing of trust before that trust can later be betrayed.
- Sometimes the way I think can frustrate me more than the real situations.
- Marriage involves interruptions and adjustments.
- Divorce breaks one into half -half. Reconciliation is cheaper than a broken one.
- My forgiveness must be set on auto.
