The habits you form today determine the kind of life you live
tomorrow. Someone once said, “First form your habits; then
your habits will form you.” What do you want to be? Form the
habits, and your habit will help you achieve your goal.
If you want to attract a great mate, form these important habits.
1. Patience. The ability to be patient with others’ faults
will reap you the fruit of great friendship. What you
sow, you reap.
. Ability to listen. This is a very important skill. No
one wants to hang around someone who monopolizes
every conversation. Ask what others think, and listen
to them.
3. Servanthood. Marriage is a commitment to give your
life to serve another. Learn this now, and it will be
much easier when you get married.
4. Humility. This is the ability to say, “I was wrong; I’m
sorry.” Many marriages end in divorce because
someone could not admit fault or apologize.
5. Character. This is the ability to stick to your commitment
even when you don’t feel like it. There will be
many days when you won’t feel like remaining married
to your spouse, but character will see you through it.
6. Love. Read 1 Corinthians 13 for a good description of
what real love is. This is the glue that holds a marriage
together.
Form these habits, and you will be destined for a rewarding
and fulfilling marriage.
