A good man/woman will increase and help you multiply the resources you have, a bad man/woman will diminish your resources. This is why choosing should be done carefully.
Before marriage, we have to stay in courtship and get used to each other, this will help a lot in our marriage, because by then you would have been used to the kind of partner you're living with, nothing about their character would be strange to us, because we are going to enjoy each other after getting used to one another, this must also not be vested on one side alone, everyone is concerned in taking responsibility for each other and know the kind of partner they have right before marriage.
Marriage is something that one can not totally understand till you get into it and when you see people in courtship you will think it will help them to get to know themselves very well and the character of each other but when you get into the marriage you will see the other side of some women how they pretend to get into the life of a man and once they achieve that they will start acting up just to destroy the man and take half his property if they were involved in court marriage. If courtship was the best way to get a good partner why will a marriage of 36 years be broken because of lack of trust does it means the couples were not honest to each other all their years, me let's be wise not to make the mistakes of investing everything in a relationship or marriage nothing is trusted to be real anymore.
