Discerning God's will in marriage: a life partner.

Who is a life partner?

1. A partner is someone you are married to, or having a sexual relationship with.
2. A partner is someone who owns a business and shares the profits.
3. A partner is someone you are doing an activity with.
   From the above definitions, we can conclude that anybody can be a partner in marriage, sexual relationship, business. In any of the above types of relationships, a partner can choose to quit when things are not going the well as expected except in marriage. By God's standard of marriage, a partner cannot just decide to quit marriage whatever happens. Marriage is a life business! The moment you enter into it, you cannot come out till death parts.
   
   Therefore a life partner is a man or woman you choose to live the rest of your life with, either in joy or sorrow , in riches or poverty, in sickness or in health, till death do you part . As such ,anyone you choose to marry is not just your partner but your life partner!
   So whether you choose the right person or the wrong person, he or she remains your life partner as soon as you enter a marriage covenant.

   Marriage is so crucial that one must be sure of God leading him or her before entering into marriage covenant with anyone.
