That won't happen to me:
Most women subconsciously think that the horrible relationship mistakes they hear about will never happen to them. However, the question is why not? What are you doing to make sure that it doesn't?
In this true story, adapted from the book :"How to choose a life partner" by Bimbo Odukoya; Tiffany thought she had met the man of her dreams when they locked eyes at a traffic light only for her to see him again a few minutes later at the church service she was headed to!
Little did she know that her life would change drastically over the next few months, and not for the better.....
What can we learn from Tiffany's story?:
1. Do not enter into marriage without finding out relevant information about the man.
2. Do not marry a man that you have not prayed about. This should happen BEFORE you fall in love.
3. Do not marry a man that you haven't sought counsel about from people you respect. They are not in love with him so they see him with neutral eyes.
4. Be careful with long distance relationships. Try to live in the same city with the person for a period of time before marriage.
5. Date multiple men at the same time. This does not mean kissing or sleeping with them. It means you may go for coffee with one and dinner with another. Just going out on dates with male friends. Getting to know different people without exclusivity to one. Being exclusive to a man that has not proposed makes you vulnerable to many things. One of them is falling in love with someone too quickly without actually getting to know them. Having multiple male friends helps you to remain balanced and to protect your heart while you are getting to know them.
