Step 2: Prepare
Your family & friends are your training ground for marriage. You must train yourself to model Christ now to those most familiar and close to so you will be great at it when you get married.
Think of it this way: We can’t treat our family & friends poorly and then assume once we say ‘I do’ we will all of a sudden know how to treat our spouse.
Family is like our practice field. We take into our future marriage what we learn in our life with them here and now. If we learn to snub or disown those closest to us now, we’re setting patterns for broken trust and emotional heartache in the future.
If we train ourselves now to be verbally abusive to our family members, we will be conditioning ourselves to bite rather than bless in the future.
If after reading this you need to call home and apologize to some folks, now is the time (LOL). Your family & friends are your training ground. Learn how to treat them in preparation for your future marriage.
