Smart decisions, happy tomorrow

DO not make decisions based upon beauty, money, fame, education, or social status of someone you want to marry.
Marriage is not a gadget like smartphone, laptop or iPad.
That you can replace when stolen or damaged.
It is not a first sight or blind date.
It is a lifelong commitment that must be based upon faith, trust, loyalty, and love.
When you don’t make a wise decision now, the consequence it has on you will be devastating.
It can affect you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
The pleasure for a moment could be a regrettable decision in your future journey.
Don’t let your emotions and feelings dictate your decision making.
Marriage problems are escalating in our country today.
Divorce and broken homes are becoming a norm.
People don’t seem to uphold the values and right practices of engaging in a relationship.
All they want is a one-night stand.
Biblical values, principles and good traditional customs seem to have no guidance nor as a prerequisite to select a lifetime partner.
As a result, we read and hear stories of family violence and other related problems.
When people remove God out of their decision-making, they are bound for trouble.
I am encouraging married and young people to read books and surf social media sites that give teaching and advice on building a good marriage life.
One good example is Wantok Radio Light.
It has two programmes that talk about family lives, values and how to become a good parent or spouse.
If we want to eliminate domestic violence and family problems, we need to encourage our young people and young couples to start to attend church services, read family books, surf family sites and listen to Wantok Radio Light 93.9 FM or Bible FM on 105.5 FM
As we are in the festive season let us all make wise decisions.
Parties, dancing, and eating will be enjoyed.
We shall not forget to remember we must always make wise decision now to save us tomorrow.
