One of the important factors that helps stabilize marital relationships is accountability to your partner, to your mentor, and to a common mentor you both have.
Accountability goes a long way toward sustaining marital commitment. There must be people in your life that you hold yourself accountable to. This way, sustainability is easily achieved at every point in life, especially when it comes to marriage.
Having explained the simplicity that comes with hearing God in the previous teachings, I got reactions such as, can’t my pastor or prophet hear God concerning my marriage? I am not saying that your pastor or your prophet are irrelevant to your marital choices, but it is important to build a true relationship with God that can position you rightly in assessing his mind per time as the journey progresses.
Hearing God is not as difficult as many people presume. Interestingly, God is willing to speak to us more than we ever desire to hear him speak; the fact that he gave us ears and mouths established this amazing fact.
In ascertaining marital conviction, it is equally important to show you how simple it is to hear God, as I understand that the challenge that many singles have is how to hear God for themselves on important issues like career and marriage.
Having checked for alignment of purpose and compared your suitor with what God has told you ahead of time, it is important to take a step further to check for compatibility.
Alignment of purpose does not mean that yourself and your intending spouse must have the same life mission; it simply means that both of you must have clarity of the problem each of you is created to solve and see how you can work with one another to achieve it. This way each of you will have less internal conflict and be able to resist social pressure, thereby synergizing to achieve a high level of productivity.
