As I was preparing to launch this blog, a colleague walked into my office, seeking counseling on behalf of his friend. His friend was preparing to get married, but suddenly the fiancee died. In less than three months, this young man remarried. Now it is more than five years and they both do not have a child of their own. The young man and his new wife are now very comfortable together financially, but no children. The young man has now given his new wife a one year ultimatum to either bare him a child or he would get married again.
This story reveals the every now and then mistakes that young couples make. You cannot never know a person in a very short period of time. It is wisdom to take it slow and get to know your intended. Marital challenges are normal, but giving up to soon is a sign of weakness or sometimes wickedness.
Is she the maker of children? Children are God's divine gifts to mankind. If they tarry at coming, wait for them with strong faith in God. Changing women or men like wrapper would not solve the problem.
Love is at the foundation of every marital relationship. And understanding the nature of Love is all that is needed to triumph in marriage. Please feel free to drop your comments about the decision of this young man, so we can together offer some assistance to him. Shalom.
