Marriage is a commitment to be there for your spouse through thick and thin but I see many people today run away from their marriages for very flimsy excuses. Marriage should be forever but certain roles must be played to make the marriage work.
Below are 10 promises every man needs to make to his future wife if he wants the marriage to work
1. “I PROMISE TO MAKE US A PRIORITY”
For your marriage to succeed, it’s important you make your marriage your priority not your job. While it’s important to strive for success in your career, you shouldn’t do this at the expense of your marriage. The key is to find a balance. Your future wife should be a part of your success and not someone you neglect to achieve success.
2. “I PROMISE TO NEVER TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED”
So many guys are so sweet while courting their spouse but become someone else when they get married. You have to promise your future wife that you will be the same sweet person and never take her for granted.
3. “I PROMISE TO STICK BY YOU WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH”
Will you be by her side when the going gets tough? Will you fulfill the vow to be by her side in sickness and in health? You have to promise to be by her side when she is healthy and when she is sick.
4. “I PROMISE TO BE THE BEST FATHER TO OUR KIDS”
Will you be an absentee father when your kids arrive or you will make sure you become the best father your kids could ever ask for? Your future wife wants you to make a promise that you will be the best father.
5. “I WILL LOVE YOUR INNER BEAUTY MORE
You should never marry someone just because they look beautiful because she can lose that beauty. Your future wife wants you to promise her that you are marrying her because you love her inner beauty even more.
6. “I PROMISE TO NEVER BLAME YOU FOR EVERYTHING”
Passing the blame to the other person during misunderstandings in marriage isn’t what your future wife wants you to do. Instead of seeking who to blame, your future wife expects you to resolve issues sooner than later.
7. “I PROMISE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MYSELF”
Your future wife wants you to keep taking proper care of yourself after marriage. She doesn’t want you to become a lesser version of yourself and let yourself go. Continue to live a healthy lifestyle and dress good even after marriage.
8. “I PROMISE TO KEEP THINGS EXCITING”
Your future wife wants you to promise to keep things exciting and fresh by surprising her with gifts often, taking her on a vacation and not stopping dinner nights with her because you are married to her now.
9. “I PROMISE TO ACCEPT YOUR FLAWS”
Your future wife isn’t perfect; she also has flaws just as you do. No one is perfect and she wants you not to expect a perfect wife. She would try her best to be the best wife for you but she wants you to also accept her flaws too just as she would accept yours.
10. “I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU TILL THE END”
Marriage is about commitment till the end and your future wife wants you to promise her that you will love her till the end. She wants you to promise her that you will cross every bridge together with her till the end.
Are you ready to make these promises?
