5 lessons have learned in my 7 months as a Young married man in Zimbabwe!
[A Thread]
[1/5] there's a difference between being ready for marriage and being prepared for marriage. We only started pre-marital counseling 2 weeks before our wedding, it changed our lives, wish we had started sooner, but as a typical man I was against it. How wrong I was
1/5 see You can be ready but unprepared, just like a runner you can be on the track and ready but without enough training and the right program you won't be prepared. Marriage is work, not magic and 2 willing hearts need to work together and learn and grow before, during, after
2/5 Empathy is far more important than being right or correct. Understand your partner, take time to learn where certain habits come from, fears, hopes and dreams, understand their perspective and learn to put yourself in their shoes all the time ❤️ it makes you stronger
3/5 Don't stop dating Ever! Go out, dress up even if it's once a month, it's okay, Switch up the routine, surprise each other, small gifts, small calls and messages, encourage each other, play,
Make the fun, because rest assured the fun won't come to you...
4/5 there is no secret formula, learn to mold your marriage into what you want, don't start these discussions when you are further along, start these discussions while you are still dating, talk about the vision of your marriage, what you both want and work towards creating that
5/5 Family first, your spouse is your family and so are the kids(if you choose to have them) that's your family. So is your spouse's family, you have all come together as one. What I'm really saying here is learn to sacrifice the wasteful things for the joy of your family
6/5 I can see some people think that because I'm making this thread it means that I'm living umgowo😂 no guys Hahaha I'm living my best life, (Check My Pinned Tweet) it's called sharing, cause people ask me all the time about marriage and advice
Confuse not thyself😊
