Continuing our theme of: “having a marriage character before marriage,” we see that there are things we can get sorted in our singleness before marriage. If kindness is one of the things that men notice in women, then it would behoove single women to be kind before marriage, to be kind to friends, coworkers, family, and strangers.

The month of May is a focus on marriage and what it means from a Biblical standpoint. Last year the theme was “God’s purpose for marriage,” focusing on being in the act of marriage. This year, I want to focus the Friday Posts on having a marriage character before marriage, more specifically, what it means to be a wife or husband before you are a wife and husband.

SEELE Contributor Oboitshepo Tladi writes from a prophetic voice of overcoming for the feminine soul. Read this post with your spiritual eyes, to understand in this season, God is propelling His daughters, those who have been in the wilderness of waiting, of being renewed in His Spirit for a long period of time, to a new season of harvest, new relationships, new jobs, marriage, and increase.
