How do you tell legitimate
hope from unfounded hope? By looking carefully at the facts. --
DR. HOWARD HALPERN .
If you were asked to mention the qualities you want in a mate,
no doubt you will list all the wonderful human qualities on
earth. Perhaps you will not forget to mention that you will like
your mate to be loving and caring. Well, that is good.
But you start the wrong way. You should have started by asking
yourself if you possesses those angelic qualities in your master
list. For example, ask yourself: Am I loving and caring?
You see, everyone looks for different qualities in a mate. For
instance, what appeals to me, may not appeal to you. No wonder
it is said that what is one mans meat is another mans poison.

This reminds me of one beautiful lady who loved Socrates the
Greek philosopher for his intelligence, and asked for his hand
in marriage. She reasoned that they would make excellent
children. Because their children would combine her beauty with
Socrates intelligence.
But the beautiful lady, a dullard who could not add one and one,
forgot something which the ugly Socrates reminded her. What if
our children combine your empty brain with my ugly face? he
asked. And that ended it.
So, it means that we should look for a rounded mate. One quality
alone is not enough. And we too should posses qualities that our
mate should look at and admire. But what questions should you
first ask yourself?
Am I willing to make a life long commitment to my partner?
Matthew 19: 6
You dont marry today with the view to divorcing tomorrow, if
things dont go your way. Marriage is a life long commitment.
God hates those who abandon their mates. -- Malachi 2: 13-16.
Am I now physically mature to make sound judgment? -- 1
Corinthians 7: 36
Picture teenage couples in a matrimonial wedlock. These ones are
still going through changes in their life. Lack of any life
experience, coupled with the strong sexual desires incidental to
their age, will distort their thinking and judgment.
Do I have traits that will help me to contribute to a successful
marriage? -- Galatians 5: 22, 23.
You should try to cultivate those qualities that you want of
your marriage mate. Compatibility is the word. But know that
even twins are not exactly identical. So dont even think of
marrying a relative in order to make the best out of marriage.
And dont think you can change anyone. That is wishful thinking.
Try changing yourself first!
Do I have the maturity to support a male in difficult times? --
Galatians 6: 2.
It is not the time to play the blame game when problems arise.
You will agree that we live in difficult times, and this calls
for maturity in handling issues. That is why you are two. --
Ecclesiastes 4: 9, 10.
Am I a cheerful and optimistic person? -- Proverbs 15: 15
If you are a critical, gloomy and negative person, marriage will
not change you. Instead you are going to strain the marriage.
Why not add some humor to your life by being cheerful and
optimistic.
Remember, such character repels, and is dangerous to your
health.

Do I exercise self control? -- Galatians 5: 19, 20.
One who cannot control his temper is a dangerous person. He can
be violent, and may even kill before realizing it. Would you
like to marry and end up in jail for murder? -- Ephesians 4: 26.
Questions to ask of your prospective mate.
Lets say he is a male, although some of these questions may
well apply to a female. What would you want of your male partner?
Does he have a good reputation? -- Philippines 2: 19: 22.
Yes, the way a man is viewed by others, including those under
his authority will enable you to know the kind of reputation
that he has. Unfortunately, most good women marry bad men. --
See 1 Samuel 25: 3, 23 25
Does he have good morals?
Find out if the man you intend to marry is pretentious. Perhaps
he wants to get you just to satisfy his sexual desires. Such
persons think of themselves first. They do not even fear God.
Does he treat me kindly? -- Ephesians 5: 28, 29.
A kind husband would treat his wife in like manner. He trusts
and praise his wife; he is not excessively jealous and is
moderate in his expectations of her. Would that not be how you
want your future husband to treat you?
Does he respect his family members?
Also find out how your prospective mate treats his parents and
relatives. If he is rude to his family members, then you should
expect trouble from him. But if he is respectful and obedient to
his parents, then expect him to treat you lovingly after the
marriage.
Does he allow anger to control his life?
Many families have been ruined by violence. So if your
prospective mate is given to fits of anger, that is a clear
indication of danger. A woman who marries such a man will be
subject to verbal and physical abuse. Do you call that marriage?
Does he have right goals?
Find out if your future mate has attainable or visionary life
goals. For example, does he want to be a millionaire? Will it do
him good? Or is it his goal to serve God?
So the above questions will help you to scrutinize your mate in
order for you to find out if such one has the qualities that are
needed to make a successful marriage. Try to look beyond the
wedding day. For you are going to live with this person all the
days of your life.
But now, how can you have a successful courtship?
