Marriage Explained Using a Simple Metaphor - The Shoe.

Marriage is like wearing a shoe. If it's too big, you'll be dragging it along, and if it's too small, you'll be feeling the pain. But here's the thing, once you're married, you can't just take off the shoe and walk away. You have to stick with it, through the good times and the bad.

Now, I know you young folks are eager to get married, but let me tell you, it's not just about finding someone who looks good. You need to find someone who is your size, someone who shares your values and beliefs. 

And where do you find this person, you ask? Well, you need to know where to look. If you're a Christian, don't go looking for a wife at a club. That's like looking for a pair sneakers in a ballerina compartment! Stick to your values, and you'll find someone who shares them.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "But what if I make a mistake?" So what if you make a mistake? That's where guidance comes in. You can try out a shoe before you buy it, but you can seek advice from people who have been through it before. Get counseling, talk to people who have experience, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

And most importantly, consult the Shoe Manufacturer, God Almighty, to tell you your size. Remember,  you don't prepare for the WEDDING, you prepare for MARRIAGE. Marriage is not just one day, it's a lifetime commitment.

So, when you're looking for a partner, ask questions, (not too many like our Goan intrusive aunties) Where is this person from? What are their values? Are they interested in you? What's their character like? Are they compatible with you? Do they love and accept you for who you are?

Remember, many people are dragging their feet and feeling pain in their marriages. But it's not too late to make a change. If you've purchased the wrong shoe, you can still make it your size again if you consult the manufacturer and let Him have His way in your marriage.

Remember, Bebinca does not taste good if it is done within 2 hours. The longer it takes to cook the better quality it is and heavenly it tastes. 

God bless you, and God bless your relationship. 

May you find the right shoe, and may you wear it with joy and love for the rest of your life.
