Your life partner: 1. Is the only right person to connect you to your destiny. 2. Will be a person who will be compatible with the goals of your future and help you get to your goals fast. 3. Will satisfy and celebrate your visions and desires, not just stimulate your emotion. Stimulation only appeals to the physical, satisfaction goes deeper. Your vision will not distract or cause him/her to dread, but make him/her desire to share life with you. Your future spouse will be looking for ways to encourage your pupose and make it happen. 4. Will unlock your dreams and visions. Others may lock up your dreams and visons. 5. Will bring out the strength in you, not provoke your weakness. 6. Will bring a blessing which you would miss if you were single, and give you the joy of completion. 7. Never remains the way you met them, they get better daily and confirm your conviction in marriage. 8. Celebrates and values who you are, without trying to make you who they want you to be. 9. Will put a value to your life as Christ values the church /as the church values and submits to Christ. 10. Honours his/her parents. If he/she fails to honour his/her parents he/she will not honour you. 11. Will be hardworking. You cannot be an achiever and pursue a lazy bones and who loves to live on welfare! 12. Will be recognised by the way they treat and relate to their boss, pastor and other authorities. 13. Will be recognised by what he/she is transformed into when he/she is in your presence, an angel or a devil, a loving person or a lustful person. 14. Will be recognised in the fact that the love you have for him/her is void of fear. People are sometimes caught in the fear of losing the person or being hurt. 15. Will be a lover of the Word of God. Faithfulness begins with the person's commitment to the Word of God and the cleansing of his life with the Word of God. 16. Will prove himself by his attitude towards money. You cannot shy away from financial matters. Ninety percent of marital conflicts are centred around money, and the man who is not a provider is worse than an infidel (1 Timothy 5:8). 17. Will be recognised by how he/she chooses to shun unrighteousness and live righteously. 18. Will bring joy into your life. 19. In spite of the knowledge of your past, does not reject you, but is willing to go all the way with you. 20. Will be recognised by the mentors he has chosen for his life. 21. Will be marked by his attitude and ability to show mercy. Watch out for how he treats people in problems and people who face needs, how he forgives others and receives forgiveness. The first step in knowing who God has chosen for you is a personal self-recognition. You must know who you are before you know whom God has chosen for you. You must recognise and respect God's choice for your life, because what you do not respect will move away from you. What you respect will come to you. If you already have children, your future partner does not only tolerate their presence but treats them as his/hers. Based on the book, Singles 707 Volume 3 by Matthew Ashimolowo.
