Another reason it is important to marry the right person is that you will practically be handing over your life to the person, that’s the person you will expose your strengths and weaknesses to, the person you will be vulnerable to, that’s the person you will be sleeping next to, etc.

7. Who you marry determines whether you enjoy peace in your marriage or your life will be in pieces

Many are regretting their decision to marry the particular person they’re married to now because ever since they got married, they don’t know what peace is, it has been from one problem to another because the person they married is so troublesome.

The Bible warns that it is better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife. (Proverbs 21:19 NIV) When you marry a quarrelsome and troublesome person, you cannot enjoy peace in the marriage.

8. If you want to achieve intimacy in your marriage

The Bible says that you should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever because no relationship exists between light and darkness. They can never become one. They cannot enjoy oneness or intimacy. There’s no common ground or agreement.

Intimacy is best achieved when there are shared interests, personalities, goals, etc. If you want to enjoy intimacy, if you want to become one in spirit, soul, and body with your partner, then you must marry the right person.

9. Who you marry determines whether you fulfil your destiny or not

The person you get married to can be a great asset to the fulfilment of your destiny or a liability to the same. Who you marry will either help you to fulfil your destiny or destroy your destiny.

Samson the Great was commissioned to deliver his people from slavery just like Nelson Mandela from the apartheid but he got hooked with the wrong woman, Delilah, and the woman destroyed his life and destiny. If you are serious about fulfilling your life’s purpose, then you must be careful to marry the right person.

10. If you don’t want to get damaged emotionally, mentally, and otherwise

Jesus said that new wine must be poured into a new wineskin otherwise both the new wine will be damaged. If you pour new wine into an old wineskin, the new wine will burst the old wineskin due to fermentation.

A lot of people are experiencing all kinds of damage in their marriages because they did not marry the right person. A lot of people are suffering from mental health issues, emotional abuse, physical abuse, etc, because of the kind of person they got married to.

When you buy a pair of shoes that is not your size, you will get hurt. Likewise, when you get married to the wrong person, you will get damaged.
