MARRIAGE SERIES: LIFE’S THREE GREATEST DECISIONS


Every modern young person must face among other things these three greatest decisions in life. They include what place will religion have in my life, what vocation of education shall I choose? And who shall eventually marry?

These decisions have to be are supposed to be made at early age preferably between 18 to 22 years. These decision weight heavily on you because their consequences will follow you the rest of your life. Let us look at these issues closely:

What place will religion have in my life?
Whether you realize it or not you have already begun to choose the central point around which your life will rotate. Since you can not serve two masters, you will have to choose between God and Satan. If you have absorbed spiritual values in your childhood, you will probably make God your major focus. If you have had negative inputs and have been brought up by hypocritical or legalistic parents, you might be fighting what you know is right. The first decision determines the other two.

What education to take?
The choice of education whether it be as an engineer or a home maker is of a vital importance because we spend so many hours a day engaged in the chosen training. If your lifework fails to challenge you and bring you the rewards you hoped for, you will find yourself sentenced to years of boredom, frustration and unhappiness.

Whom shall I marry?
Studies indicated that 9.5 out of every Americans MARRY. Similar case are in Africa where marrying is almost compulsory. The consequences of this decision dictate with whom you will spend your entire adult year in the most intimate relationship known to men and women. This person will become your partner in rearing your children and will share every level of your life. A poor decision here could spell disaster not only for you, but also for your spouse, your family and your friends. It will be even more tragic if you enlarge your family with children! Ogopa kuwa na kimeo kwa maisha yako yote.

A poor choice on any one of these three major decisions will lessen your chances for happiness and self-fulfillment.
