10 Powerful Advice for Anyone Seeking to Marry in 2025

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and choosing the right partner is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. If you are considering marriage in 2025, here are ten powerful pieces of advice to guide you:

Marry for Character, Not Just Chemistry:
Physical attraction and feelings can fade, but a person’s character, their integrity, kindness, and values will determine the success of your marriage.

Know Yourself First:
Before you commit to someone else, understand who you are, what you want, and what you bring to a relationship. Healthy self-awareness leads to healthier choices, you can choose the right partner if you don’t know yourself and your purpose in life.

Be Aligned in Values and Vision:
Discuss the big things like faith, family, finances, career goals, and parenting styles. Shared values and a common vision create a strong foundation.

Observe How They Handle Pressure:
Marriage isn’t without its challenges. Watch how your partner deals with conflict, disappointment, and setbacks. Their reactions under pressure will show their true character.

Don’t Ignore Red Flags:
Disrespect, infidelity, dishonesty, or a lack of accountability are major warning signs. Don’t enter marriage hoping that these issues will improve, they usually get worse.

Build a Friendship First:
You know the saying “Marry your best friend”, Passion may spark the relationship, but friendship will sustain it. Marry someone you genuinely enjoy being around, laughing with, and sharing life with.

Prioritize Emotional and Spiritual Compatibility:
A strong emotional connection and shared faith can help you navigate the ups and downs of marriage. Pray together, grow spiritually, and invite God into your relationship. A relationship and marriage founded on God will pass the test of time.

Discuss Finances Before Marriage:
Money issues are a leading cause of marital conflict. Be open about your financial habits, debts, and future goals. Agree on how you will manage finances together. Do you want Joint accounts or not, how will you share financial responsibility and who will manage the finance of the home?

Listen to Wise Counsel:
Seek advice from happily married couples, mentors, or spiritual leaders. They can help you identify potential challenges and guide you in making the right decision.

Pray and Trust God’s Timing:
Marriage is too important to be rushed. Pray for discernment and trust that God will bring the right person into your life at the right time.

In conclusion, marriage is a journey, not a destination. It requires love, commitment, sacrifice, and grace. Enter it with wisdom, and you will build a union that lasts a lifetime.

God Said : There will come a time when mankind will love five things and forget five things.*

1. They will love the enjoyment of this world and forget the day of judgement.

2. They will love money and forget the day of accountability of how they acquired and spend the money.

3. They will fear things that are created and forget the creator.

4. They will love beautiful mansions and forget their grave.

5. They will love sins and forget to seek for God's forgiveness.

Come to think of this?.......

1. Eternal life = free
2. Church entrance = free
3. Christ's salvation = free
4. God's love = free
5. Breath of life = free

A. Cigarette = pay
B. Prostitution = pay
C. Alcohol =pay
D. Nightclub entrance fee= pay
E. Powers to rule the world = pay

Then why are people paying for hell while PARADISE is free?

Functional governance key to addressing 'JAPA' syndrome — Senator Natasha

Newly appointed Senate Chairman on Diaspora, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has advocated for a functional governance to address the "Japa" syndrome — the mass emigration of Nigerians seeking better opportunities abroad.

Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the committee, Sen Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasised that reversing this trend requires creating an enabling environment that encourages Nigerians to stay and invest in their home country.

She highlighted the urgent need for structural economic reforms to retain Nigerian talent and harness the diaspora’s potential for national development.

"We cannot keep losing our best brains to other countries. However, the solution is not to force them to stay. People stay where opportunities are abundant, security is assured, and governance is functional. Nigeria must provide these conditions to stop the Japa syndrome," she stated.

To address this, the senator proposed three key strategies to include Establishing a Diaspora Investment and Development Bank

She advocated for the creation of a Diaspora Bank, where Nigerians abroad can invest their remittances into structured projects in Nigeria.

This bank, she said would be managed by trusted professionals, would allow diaspora contributions to be channeled into sectors like healthcare, infrastructure, and technology.

"Diaspora remittances contribute over $21 billion annually to Nigeria’s economy. We must create a system where this wealth can be strategically invested in sectors that will drive economic growth, instead of being consumed on daily expenses alone," she explained.

The second strategy she is to expand Economic Opportunities and Industry Development

She pointed out that countries like India and Ethiopia have successfully harnessed their diaspora by establishing industries where returning citizens can work and contribute their expertise.

Akpoti-Uduaghan called for the development of high-tech zones, textile hubs, and manufacturing sectors, ensuring that skilled professionals can return home to viable job opportunities.

"Nigeria must take lessons from countries like India, which dominates the global ICT sector, and Ethiopia, which has established over 80 thriving textile industries with the help of its diaspora. We must replicate these models," she said.

The third strategy she proposed is the creation of a Comprehensive Nigerian Diaspora Database

The senator emphasised the importance of gathering accurate data on Nigerians abroad to properly engage, integrate, and support their participation in national development.

She proposed working with embassies to compile data on Nigerians in America, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Africa, identifying their skills and potential contributions.

"How many Nigerians are in America? Canada? Europe? We need to know. Data drives decision-making. We must also track how diaspora funds are used to ensure transparency and accountability," she stated.

Akpoti-Uduaghan also stressed the need to engage international organisations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other global NGOs that provide funding, training, and technical expertise for development projects.

She further announced plans to organise a Nigeria Diaspora Business Summit, where Nigerian professionals abroad can showcase their innovations, businesses, and investment opportunities in the country.

"Our goal is to make Nigeria a hub where our citizens, whether at home or abroad, feel confident to invest, return, and build their future," she concluded.

Former Chairman Senator Victor Umeh praised Akpoti-Uduaghan’s leadership and expressed confidence in her ability to transform the diaspora engagement agenda.

"She is energetic, visionary, and ready to break new ground. I am optimistic that she will drive significant reforms to maximize the potential of Nigeria’s diaspora community," Umeh stated.

The meeting was attended by outgoing Chairman Senator Victor Umeh, Vice Chairman Anthony Harris, and other committee members.

The inaugural meeting marked the beginning of a new era for Nigeria’s diaspora engagement, with Akpoti-Uduaghan vowing to work closely with the Presidency, international stakeholders, and Nigerians abroad to ensure a sustainable and inclusive national development strategy.

How To Know A Man That Is Ready For Marriage (Part 1)

How do you know when a man is ready to settle?
How do you know if you're the one he's likely going to marry...

This will help you to stop wasting your time with men that have no intention of marrying anytime soon.

1.He won't break up with you or thrêaten to break up with you, because you refused to have sêx with him:
Any man that thrêatens to leave you because you refused to have sêx with him, is not ready for marriage, and even if he's ready, you're not the one he's planning to marry.
If he has any intention of marrying you, he won't be so fixated on sêx. He will be so focused planning to make you his wife.
I didn't say he won't ask you for sêx, I said he won't leave you or threaten to leave you, if you refuse to have sêx with him.

2. He will be committed to you:
When a man is committed to one woman, accountability and transparency won't be a problem for him.
If he doesn't make a every effort to be accountable to you, he's not planning to marry you, at least, not anytime soon.

3.He will be vulnerable with you:
A man that has plans of making you his wife will be vulnerable around you.
He may be strong outside, but he's always weak around you.
You're his safe space. He's not afraid to tell you everything that is going on with him.
He may even cry on your shoulders!
Baby girl, if your man is comfortable crying on your shoulders, you're probably the one, because men don't cry on every shoulder, they are not like women.

4.He will make every effort to see you become better and correct you whenever you make a mistake:
If he doesn't correct you, you are probably not the woman he's planning to marry.
If a man is truly in love with a woman, and if he has plans to marry that woman, he will start working on her, to become the perfect woman of his dreams. He will start gardening, and grooming her.
That's why men are called bridegroom; if he's not grooming you, you're not his bride.

A husband material is a good gardener!
He can take a naive girl and transform her into a world class princess. He wants to always look at you and be proud that you're his woman!

5.He will start introducing you to people that matter to him; his family, mentors, boss, superior colleagues,etc:
If he's only letting you meet a few of his friends, probably, his partners in crime, he's not planning to marry you and you're probably not his main girlfriend. You could be a side chick and be feeling like the main girlfriend.
Well, some men can introduce you to his family, and still not marry you, but at least he respected you enough to let you meet his family. Such a man values you, except he's a serial cheater, who uses his family as a weapon to lure unsuspecting ladies to his bed. You need to be properly guided.

6. Inviting you to cook for him, or giving you the spare key to his apartment are NOT signs that he's planning to marry you.
Many ladies fall for this. They think because they have a key to a guy's apartment, it means the guy is faithful to her. You don't know men, especially the direct sons of Adam. There may be three other ladies that have the key to his apartment, and chances are you will never meet each other in his apartment.
But if he has plans of marrying you, beyond giving you a spare key to his apartment, he will make you feel safe and loved.
You will have his attention and affection.

7. If a man just wants to have sêx with a woman, he will use his money, but if he wants to settle down with a woman, he will use his heart.
You must know when a man is using his heart.
