Here are the twelve Pastor Sam Adeyemi messages on marriage:
- Have a plan. As you have committed to a lifelong relationship, you need to plan out your future together. When you have some goals you can both strive towards, it makes the relationship so much more meaningful and deep.
- Quality time. It is great when couples spend some good time together, or have a tradition. Pastor Adeyemi recommends all the lovebirds to set an unmovable date, when they can put all the other plans away and spend some time only in each other’s company. It can be every two weeks or at least once a month.
- Quickly forgive. We all make mistakes; we all mess up from time to time. There is no point in holding a grudge against your partner forever, especially if you have to live with this person for the foreseeable future. You can have your moment of frustration, but then you have to let go and forgive. It will make you both better and your relationship stronger.
- Listen. In our day and age, most of us have a problem with listening to what our partner has to say. Many people hear, but they do not listen. In order to have a successful marriage, people need to listen to each other. This will improve the communication between them, which might come in handy in times of hardship.
- Be proactive and sensitive. If you want to improve your relationship, you need to be better attuned to your other half. You need to be sensitive to the other person’s needs and be proactive in fulfilling them, if they are in the realm of your competence. If you feel one another, your marriage will be much more intimate.
- Do not take them for granted. After being in a relationship for quite some time, you might start to take the presence of the other person in your life for granted. You absolutely cannot do that! Even though you are supposed to stick together through thick and thin, things might change in a matter of seconds and separate you. Therefore, cherish and respect your other half, treat them well, and your relationship will become more passionate because of it.
- Prayer is key. Pray together. Ask for God’s guidance in case something goes wrong. Thank the Lord for giving you one another. Remember that God cares about your relationship probably even more than you do. He will always be there for the both of you to lend a helping hand or give you guidance.
- Grow together. While it is important for us to grow as individuals, it is also important that people who are in a relationship grow together. The more you grow, the stronger your marriage becomes. In addition, you need to be sure you are heading in the same direction. Because what is the point in being together if you are heading different ways?
- Value leadership. It might seem surprising, but leadership does not mean that there has to be only one leader. Both partners need to be able to take control of the situation in their own hands and be able to lead the family in the right direction. Both of the partners need to set the example for others, especially their own children.
- Avoid comparison. Never compare your partner to other people, especially one of your exes. The same goes for your relationship; do not compare it to other people’s. Treat it like a fingerprint: it is unique, nobody else has the same exact one, and there is no point in comparing it to others. Write your own story without rewriting it from somebody else’s.
- Build each other up every waking day. Compliment one another, praise each other’s strongest traits. Provide affirmation and support to your partner even if it seems like they can do just fine without it. Even the simplest ‘thank you’ or ‘I am so proud of you’ can do wonders for the other person’s self-esteem and your marriage as a whole. The practice of building each other up makes your relationship more open, intimate and trustful. Words have immense power, so use them to improve your marriage!
- Know the love language of your partner. Know what words your partner responds best to. Experiment with different terms of endearment and find the ones your partner loves best. When each person in a relationship gives love and feels loved, it is the most powerful thing in the world. In addition, Pastor Adeyemi recommends Cary Chapman’s book ‘5 Love Languages’ that will help you understand better what a love language is.
