It feels like the right time to be in love with all the fanfare
surrounding relationships these days. There are lots of sentimental tweets and
Facebook messages that makes us go all ‘aww’. Instagram pictures tell tales of
beautiful moments shared. The whole world is given an all access pass into the
lives of lovers and are allowed to be envious of whatever great times the new
age couples share. We could very well be living one of the fairytales as men
are becoming more creative with proposals. It is almost like a competition.
Everyone wants to stand on a rooftop and see who can scream the loudest to the
world that their relationships are the best.
The new trend is also great for business, the competition is just
the perfect recipe for money making. We have proposal specialists (the ones
that can plan proposals even if you want it in the moon), we can’t forget the
photographers and make up artists now, can we? These ones create those still
perfect moments that are the subject of discourse on various forums. It even
gets fancier with some couple having to travel to particular locations and do
special wardrobe shopping for this. We are just getting used to this trend and
wowed by the creativity involved in the numerous pre wedding pictures when I
stumbled on a pre wedding video. Can you believe that?
I love love stories, I really do, I just feel really blown
away by all these fanfare and I beg to be the voice of reason in the midst of
all these.
Seeing as being in love has become a very serious business ( so we are made to believe), I propose that even more hardwork should be
put into staying in love. You need to take your marriage as serious as your
wedding.
It is great that you are trying to make your day very special. You
should also bear in mind that there is life after the wedding, so please spend
wisely.
Don’t be deceived by the number of likes on your pictures or by
how many blogs reposted your love story. It is not good enough that you like a
great couple, be sure you are compatible.
If you need a referee during your arguments, your followers on social media don't exactly fit into those shoes. Meaning you need to keep your business private and avoid giving front row access to strangers that don't care.
Don’t despise the words of the elders both spiritual and physical.
By all means, go for counselling.
While you are at the business of getting everyone’s admiration and
okays, don’t forget to commit your relationship and future home into God’s
hands.
Like I mentioned earlier, I love love and I wish you all well in
your ventures.
Stay blessed.
