Today’s message is on Marriage Does Not Give You Purpose.
A lot of young women believe that once they get married, they have fulfilled their purpose on earth. In my opinion, that is myopic. Every person has a purpose and it is important you know yours before venturing into marriage. Don’t get me wrong, people have found their purpose while married. But it is better you know before going into marriage.
Why?
Your purpose should guide your choice of a life partner. Your life partner is someone who will help you fulfill your purpose on earth. Let’s take for instance, you are called to be a minister in a church. You would not want a life partner who is not a Christian or someone who would never support this dream. One example that comes to mind is from a movie (Brown Sugar) about this lady who was crazy about rap music yet the man she was dating did not care about her passion. She felt unfulfilled. That is what could happen to you if that one you truly care about is not concerned about what really matters to you.
If you already know your purpose, let this be a guide as you select that special man you will spend the rest of your life with.
If you do not know your purpose, I recommend some things: -
1. Ask your Heavenly Father. He is ready to show you and teach you all things.
2. Read good books that will guide you to finding your purpose
3. Listen to motivational messages on Purpose

How I wish a lot of men too will pause to consider if they are preparing well to fit in into the purpose of their queens. If they will be supportive instead of thinking the queens enitre roles in life are just to make sure they are fulfilled in their own life purpose.
We are all made whole and complete by God, He has designed each person purpose and I often seeing women dropping theirs because of what the marriage demand form them and this always live them unhappy and unfulfilled. I hope a lot of men will be more objective and know that they both have roles to play in making each other fuflifl his/her purpose in life
I hope there's a man out there writing "Preparing for Your Queen".
I agree with you that many women drop their purpose becos of marriage demands. I wonder where women get the strength to be all they are.
And I believe that men will enjoy their marriages more when they support and encourage their wives to be all they were created to be. Because it is amazing what a fulfilled, purpose-driven woman can do.
On your own part, please continue the great work of mentoring the women. Little drops of water fill the ocean...
