Don’t miss it. Spread the word!

We love the idea of “potential.”

He’s not there yet… but he could be.

She’s still finding herself… but she’s got fire.

But here’s the real question: Does he or she have direction?

Hear this clearly:

Potential doesn’t build a marriage. Direction does.

Are you considering someone?

Don’t just ask if they are gifted.

Ask: Are they going anywhere with it?

Purpose isn’t a vibe—it’s a vision. It’s waking up with a sense of assignment. It’s building something bigger than yourself.

You don’t need someone perfect, but you do need someone pursuing. Someone who’s submitted. Someone who’s becoming.

Marriage is more than “We look good together.”

It’s “Can we carry destiny together?”

Can we push each other toward God’s call on our lives?

Can we raise children in purpose?

Can we give sacrificially, serve selflessly, and still laugh while doing it?

If you’re already married, it’s easy to throw purpose out of the window (by the time you begin to change diapers and think about school fees). But the pursuit of purpose shouldn’t stop after the wedding—that’s in fact when it becomes real.

So, become intentional. Ask yourselves:

– What are we building together—besides bills and babies of course?

– Are we aligned spiritually, or just surviving practically?

– Do we challenge each other to grow or just tolerate each other’s comfort zones?

Don’t let your marriage become a museum of old dreams.

Make it a greenhouse—where vision keeps growing, where callings are watered, and where you both flourish side by side.

God never creates purpose in isolation.

He pairs people to partner, not just to cuddle. Remember He made a HELP MEET suitable for Adam.

So whether you’re waiting or already walking the journey, remember this:

The right partnership doesn’t distract you from purpose—it propels you into it.

Red Alert:

If your current relationship is taking you away from purpose, that person is not for you. Cut it off!

I love you.
