It's been a loooooooong while I wrote on my marriage blog, but I got
inspired to start off again, especially since my spiritual father declared that
this month of August is a month that spouses are better together.This month, I will be talking on how related Marriage and Driving are, putting spotlight on different aspects of driving. The most essential part of driving is the Driver! The mood of a driver determines the outcome of his driving. Have you ever encountered fury drivers? Most times, the outcome is from the fact that they couldn’t get a control on their emotions. As a driver, it is important to know that a good mood and positive perception, sets the tone for your journey.
As a driver, you can’t afford mood swings while driving; this can be very disastrous to the safety of other passengers in the vehicle. Many people have entered into relationships and marriages with a wrong perception and this leads to an undesired end – Divorce, Separation. I remember several times I’ve had to caution my spouse’s driving whenever he is angry. He drives like someone going on a revenge mission...lolzzz! I sometimes shudder to wonder what could someday happen, if I am not there by his side to caution him (although, it’s always dicey when I’m the cause of the anger), which leads me to the next point.
A driver carries passengers because they are going in the same direction.
When everyone in the car is going in different directions, it confuses the
driver which could also end in a disaster. I have been in vehicles that the
passenger mistakenly heard the driver call another destination and in the
middle of the road had to get down when he noticed the direction the driver was
taking didn’t look like where he was going, this action will greatly
inconvenience the driver and the passenger as well as cause some level of delay
in getting to the destination. Thus it is pertinent for the driver to ensure
that everyone understands where he is going before embarking on the journey. Sounds familiar? How many marriages have hit the rock because there was no clear understanding between the man and the woman on the purpose of them coming together? How many children have had to suffer this singular decision their parents made of not properly aligning their purposes before getting married? How many heartbroken individuals suffer in silence because their spouse ‘found’ someone else who share the same passion with them and neglected them just to ‘hang out’ with that other person?
For marriages to be better in the 21st century, spouses have to decide to complement each other and be better together for the sake of themselves and their children, but most importantly for God, because he is the only factor in a well laid marriage that is unconditional. If the driver has a problem with his vehicle, he has to refer to the manual. God is the manufacturer of the marriage vehicle, we can only be better together when we keep referring to him to help strengthen our marriages and make us better individuals.
Taking God out of our marriages only makes us an accident going somewhere to
happen, either alone or with our spouse. Driving with God ensures safety,
without him ends dangerously. So I ask you, how are you safe or in danger?Drive Safely.......#BetterTogether
Coming up next, the wheels of driving, brake and accelerator!
