Wedding and marriage: Different sides of the same coin.
Wedding and marriage are two completely different things entirely. One of the problems of many people planning to get married is that they spend lots of time and resources planning for a wedding alone. A wedding is a celebration that precedes marriage. A wedding is a day thing or probably it may take some days but marriage was supposed to be a lifetime agreement and covenants, where two people who love themselves enter. As beautiful as planning for a wedding ought to be, it is also of necessity that people plan for their marriage too. Marriage requires lots of commitment from both couples, hence people should not take it for granted.
The alarming rate of divorce in our society is as a result of inadequate and improper marriage planning. Readiness in marriage is not about seeing the person whom you love but the determination to stay with the person till death do you part. There are things people must consider first before planning to get married. The following are the conditions you must meet.
Financial readiness
Financial readiness means that those ready to get married must have a source of income, that is they must have a job. No jobless person should think about marriage. And people should not plan on getting married to cash out or for financial gain.
Psychological readiness
This is an aspect that lots of people take for granted. This has to do with emotional intelligence and maturity. A lot of people are unable to control their emotions. One of the emotions frequently triggered in marriage is anger. This is why couples who are yet to mature emotionally tend to fight at the slightest provocation. This ought not to be so.
physiological readiness
Marriage is not for children, it's for mature adults. Hence, to be ready for marriage, the couple must be of age probably, eighteen years and above. There are some demands in marriage that children cannot handle but may require adults. Moreover, the reproductive organs of the intended couple must be mature as well.
Planning for a wedding entails the following
Just as I started earlier, a wedding is a ceremony that precedes marriage. So many things are not so required to have a successful wedding ceremony.
First of all, you need a convenient venue for the occasion, also, you plan for entertainment as well as ushers that will help run the events successfully. With all these, your wedding ceremony is set.
Planning for marriage is beyond this, hence one must sit down and have proper planning before getting into it.
Divorce will definitely be out of the marriage that was properly planned. This is the fact.
