CONTINUED FROM: WHAT EXACTLY IS COMPATIBILTY ALL ABOUT,
……It is not based on similarity but rather on our ability to
meaningfully get along or fit into each other’s lives.
Marry someone that you are compatible with. It’s not
everybody you can get along with; it is not even every
Christian that you can marry. Let me give you a
practical example, there are some churches where
women do not wear earrings while there are some
other churches where men are allowed to wear
earrings. Imagine a man and a woman who go to
churches like these planning to get married. He has a
different belief from hers. Where will they be wed?
So, you need to check your spiritual compatibility. We
have basic fundamental differences not just in biblical
understanding but in our lives as well.
Also check simple things like compatibility in your
vision. Where are the two of you going? Are you
headed in the same direction? It is not every woman
that can marry a pastor. The calling of a pastor’s wife
is different from the calling of a business man’s wife,
and also different from that of a career man’s wife. If
you are a business man’s wife you must know how to
pray because in business there is no fixed income and
getting by every day, is by faith. Then on the other
hand, a pastor should not marry a business man’s wife
because in business everything is profit and loss, but
ministry is not about profit and loss; at least not in
monetary terms. In ministry, profit is counted by how
many people were blessed not how much money was
made. So marry someone that you are compatible
with.
I usually give this example, let’s assume that your
name is Jane and you have two suitors asking for your
hand in marriage and both have the name Michael
and your vision is to have an international choir that
will sing at the world cup and international events.
Who will you marry? Let me make it a bit clearer for
you. The first one goes by the name Michael Jackson
and the second one is Michael Tyson who will you
marry? Certainly you will choose Michael Jackson
because he can come to help you in the studio with
your recordings, he can teach your back-up singers a
thing or two. He can choreograph your songs and
generally add value to your vision; his name just
being added to yours will open doors for you and
make your album sell. Sometimes, he can even
feature in your songs.
On the other hand if your vision is to clear social
miscreants (area boys) from a certain area, who will
you marry? Marrying Michael Jackson would be a
major mistake while marrying Michael Tyson will
make your job easier. Of course, once they see you
they will just stay away because they know your
husband can beat them up. Statistics show that most
divorces are caused by irreconcilable differences,
things they just couldn’t agree about, ask important
questions before you marry, what are your beliefs on
God, money, kids, in-laws, talk about anything
possible, differences weaken a relationship.
Compatibility makes life easy.
