We have been amazed many times when we hear of how people got into marriage with very little or no preparation at all. Even in the Church the assumption has been that since people are 'saved' and attend Church regularly then they must know what they need to do when they get married.
Imagine people entering into a lifelong commitment that is challenging and difficult in this manner. In this day and age when we have become so consumed with the event, the wedding show, that we forget about the process, the marriage itself. The other day we visited with my sister in-law who together with her husband run a deco business. While there I picked up a magazine on weddings and was shocked to find out how much money people are spending on weddings in this city. We saw wedding budgets that ranged from 500,000 Kenya shillings to 3 million and wondered how on earth we pulled through with the budget we had those days for our own wedding.
Nothing wrong with having a great and expensive wedding if you can afford it. But what is of more importance is that you prepare well as well for your marriage. How much in terms of time, energy and finances are you investing in your future as a married couple? You see for any team to win in any game, how well they prepare for it matters a lot.
It is because of this that we are having an open day for those singles who are planning to get married or who are still searching or just beginning a relationship on the 24th of this month at the Horizon Capital boardroom along Ngong Road opposite the Nairobi Baptist Church. This will be a Saturday and the program will run from 2pm to 5pm. We will be sharing with those who attend what we are doing to help people prepare well for their "happily ever after."
