Let me speak to young couples preparing for marriage, and singles already in courtship with the intention to settle.
No matter how knowledgeable, mature, or spiritually grounded you both may be, one thing you must deliberately put in place is this: have a godly mentor you both submit to.
Not just any mentor, but someone you both agree on, a leader, a pastor, a spiritual authority you respect and are willing to follow. Someone who knows you personally, not a distant or social media figure. A mentor you can easily access, sit with, and open your lives to.
This is not optional, it is wisdom.
Marriage is a beautiful journey, but it is not without its seasons. There will be moments of misunderstanding, seasons of pressure, and times when emotions may cloud judgment.
There will be “dark tunnels” where clarity seems far away.
Yes, God is always there. But many times, He brings guidance, correction, and clarity through godly and experienced mentors.
A mentor helps you:
See what you cannot see
Hear what emotions may block you from hearing
Receive balanced counsel when perspectives differ
The truth is, love alone is not enough to sustain a marriage, guided wisdom is essential.
Scripture says, “In the multitude of counsel there is safety.” That safety is not just protection from mistakes, but preservation of peace, unity, and purpose in your home.
So before you say “I do,” make sure you have someone you both can run to when life says “this is hard.”
Don’t wait for crisis before you build covering.
Be intentional. Be wise. Be guided.
