Love Is Not Enough - Marry Someone Who Works
Work is part of the marriage covenant. Whether earning or managing the home - everyone must contribute. Washing dishes, raising kids, or earning income - it's all work. Laziness destroys love.
Marriage is not charity. Unless someone is mentally or physically impaired, if they won’t work, walk away. Every partner must pull weight. You vowed to stand in sickness - not in idleness.
You can date a student - but don’t marry them until they’re earning. Marriage isn’t an emergency. If they’re relying on their parents, they’re not yet ready for marriage. Don’t marry a burden.
And betting is not a job. Period. Depending on welfare without disability is not work. Marriage needs predictable income - business or employment. You can’t fool your partner forever.
Hustle honorably. No income, no marriage. A working partner is a blessing. Not because they’re rich - but because they’re responsible. Work is dignity. Work is love in action.
Don’t marry a grown child - marry a working partner. Don’t marry potential. Marry someone who’s showing results. Marriage is for workers - not dreamers without a plan.
