God exercised wisdom how much more we humans – Proverbs 3:19

Wisdom tells you what and what not to do. “It’s not how well you start but how well you finish” – Ps. Samuel Asiamah

You don’t have to make marriage work. Marriage is the work

The wise will always build by wisdom – (Proverbs 14:1)

Going to school makes you knowledgeable but not wise enough. Consider the steps you take to accomplish a task – (Proverbs 14:15)

There are certain self confidence that are foolish – (Proverbs 14:16)

Learn to keep quite if you know that you are quick tempered – (Proverbs 14:17)

If you can’t say am sorry then you will be sorry

Four ways to apply wisdom in our marriage and relationship life
1. Your conduct/ behavior – (1 Samuel 18:5, 1 Samuel 18:14-15). There are several things you should know how to go about with wisely. When you keep wrongs in your heart you behave irrationally

2. Words and speech. Learn to speak good and gracious words. Speaks comfortable words. (Colossians 4:6) It’s not everything you ought to verbally respond (Proverbs 17:28, Ecclesiastes 10:12)

3. Comparison – learn not to compare your life to others. Some people leave fake lives and as soon as you start to compare yourself to them, you are bound to fail.

4. Trust and fidelity – Avoid the sex trap. Run away from Galatians 5:19. Any relationship that always ends in sex can never be successful in marriage because the end attracts the wrath of God (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:9)
The adulterer is a fool – (Proverbs 6:22, Ephesians 5:3)

Regret is not enough. Any relationship outside marriage is unhealthy

Adultery is not in the actions only but in the hearts and mind – Matthew 5:27-29

1. Do not regret but Repent
2. Flee
3. Cut them off. Disassociate yourself from them (1 Corinthians 5:11)
4. Be spiritual – read the word and pray (Galatians 6:1, 5:16)
5. Where possible confess to your partner
6. Set goals and limit
