A female pastor once told a young lady that marriage is like a loaded bag you take home from the market & only discover what is in it when you unpack the bag.

Nice statement from the original post, every anniversary is worth celebrating and don't wait until you are 25years in marriage before you celebrate it.

Like someone once said to me, "marriage is the coming together of two imperfect persons to make a perfect union". That has since remained somewhere in my mind because I saw a lot of sense in what she said. She said that couples have to first of all understand that they are both imperfect. If you know that you are not perfect yet and can make mistakes, it will be easy for you to accept your spouse the way he or she is. It will be easy for you to understand that your spouse is also imperfect and can make mistakes. It will be easy to tolerate your spouse when he or she does anything that you are not comfortable with. It will be easy to give excuses for your spouse's behavior.

Before jumping into marriage do you have everything you need so why should you expect everything in a marriage, and also if he /she promises to do something and it delays you should try to understand what the person I've been going through rather than just feel like the person has been useless or the person is not good enough for us. So how canwith issue that may arise due to expectations not fulfilled.

Many attimes people fail to realise that there is no perfect, and when you hear people talk about how magnificent their marriage is, it might not be as true as it seems.

Marriage is the legitimate union of a man and woman, marriages are expected to be have a long lasting end till death, but it is a pity that majority of couples today couldn't do that and they ended up divorcing each other which is a very bad thing to do. Elkanah did not divorce Hannah his wife because she was barren till God answered their prayers, and Abraham did not put away his wife even when they were of old age because she could not bear him a son till God blessed them both, it has become a big problem to families when a woman can not bear a male child those men that take these things as a issue are cowards and illiterates no matter how far they have gone because if they were educated as they claim to be they will understand that whatever gender a child is is determined by what the child's father gives to the mother, they are the ones that produce the child's gender be it male or female, they are the ones to blame not the woman, and because of their foolishness they will get married to another woman and once their luck shines they will say to their foolish selves" the first woman could not give me a male child , since the second woman gave me what I want she is automatically my favorite",men listen male or female they are all gifts from God , don't maltreat an innocent woman because of what you are responsible for and don't incur God's wrath upon your life, be satisfied with your wife and the children she gives out so that your blessings won't be hindered through your life time on earth.

All the write-ups are eye-openers and loaded with knowledge. Singles have a whole lot of expectations for marriage which is okay to have but it will all turn out to be a reality when both men and women are ready to take up their responsibilities.
There are a lot of responsibilities in marriage and the responsibilities of a man are different from that of a woman. That is why many elderly people and religious settings emphasize preparation for marriage while you are still single because you don't learn to fight on the battleground.
As a woman, when you keep having high expectations for your marriage don't relent in learning what it takes to make those expectations come to pass. Many of us expect to have wonderful inlaws that will love us but do you know what it takes to keep such traits in them as time goes on?
As a man, when you keep having high expectations of loving your wife and never cheating on her but do you also take practical steps of making that a reality? Hope you are building capacity for a moment when her nagging can make you change your mind about her. As a man and woman don't just speak that expectation instead let actions follow.
