As a single, your greatest asset is not your hips, tips, boobs, complexion, baritone voice, your looks, skills, degrees, background, wealth, sonorous voice, beauty, or any other physical attribute.

It is your character.

Your character is the real you. Not who you profess to be or what people say you are.
You can never run away from your character.

A Yoruba adage says, your character is like smoke, you can never hide it for too long. It will always surface.

Young ladies, don’t focus on that which is ephemeral.
It is not a big deal to make yourself beautiful.

All you need is some good, quality make-up. A dark-skinned lady can become fair by virtue of the different toning creams available.

A guy can look polished, well packaged with all the six-packs, but really who is he?

A guy may look very responsible and mature, but may not be in actual fact.
Remember looks can be deceptive.

The good news is that you can develop your character.
You can develop a positive character that will add value to you and not make you a liability in marriage.

Nobody is left out of this quest to develop proper winning character. So don’t ever think you are alone or get overwhelmed with developing your character.

As singles, your priority is to put your strength to improve your character.

Some people will adamantly stick to the character flaws and excuse them away.
Some will even pretend and push their negative characters deep down so people will not easily notice.

Whatever negative tendencies you have are to be confronted, dealt with, and replaced with positive ones.

There are a thousand and one character flaws.
Some are very glaring, while others are very subtle and hidden.

Whichever way, every negative character will be brought to full view in marriage no matter how long it takes.

God and His word, with our cooperation can help us to develop positive character.

Our present character is formed basically by our thoughts.
Our thoughts become our words.
Our words become our actions, our actions become our habits and our habits form our character.

We developed our present character through a process and it will also take a process to unlearn the negative character and develop new ones.

Roms 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Rom 12:2 (KJV)

In other words, we allow God’s word and His Holy Spirit to change our thoughts, which will change our words, which will change our actions, change our habits and then ultimately change our character.

No matter what your character is today, you can change it for good. The earlier you take up this task the better for you.

The character flaws you don’t deal with now as a single will roar at you in marriage.

Whatever bad tendencies you have now can be replaced with goodly and godly character.

As a single, you have no business chasing only funfair while your major course is left unattended. It’s a gross mistake, don’t fall for it.

May God open our eyes more to see these truths.
