A Marriage Built On Only Love Will Never Last- Pastor Tony Rapu

Published

on

Pastor Tony Rapu, Senior Pastor of the House of Freedom in Lagos, shared a post on marriage on Friday afternoon.

The clergyman who has been married for over 30 years, advised intending couples to be aware that love alone cannot sustain a marriage. He also added that true loves is displayed only by grown-ups and not teenagers.
The problem with puppy love

Most couples who get married do it because they are ‘in love’ and they usually believe that the feelings that brought them together will last forever and will keep them together forever. The problem with this is that we cannot rely on feelings. Feelings can change depending on so many external factors and they often do. If your marriage is based on feelings, what then happens when the feelings begin to fade as they inevitably will? The marriage has nothing to stand on. If the only reason you got married was because you were ‘in love’ then you have no reason to stay married when the feelings are no longer there.

Being ‘in love’ is a great thing. Marrying without some form of emotional attachment would be sad, really. But being ‘in love’ is about the chemistry, the romance and the excitement. It’s about pounding hearts and a constant desire to want to see the person all the time. But this is what we call ‘puppy love’. It is good for the attraction in the beginning of the relationship. Being ‘in love’ is a wonderful thing and is needed to spice up marriage from time to time but it’s not real love and it’s not enough to sustain a marriage. Being ‘in love’ will fade so you need to expect that to happen and not be shocked when it does.

True love is not what you feel, it’s what you do. It is about commitment. True love cares, it gives, it gets hurt and is willing to die for the one it loves . We know this because the bible says God is love. He demonstrated His love for us on the cross. That’s real love. It makes sacrifices. That’s the kind of love that makes a marriage last a life time. It is the kind of love that gives something puppy love can never do. Real love is what brings emotional, physical and spiritual oneness in marriage. Puppies and teenagers can be in love but true love is for grown-ups.

Ariana Grande to pay ex-husband $1.25m as they finalise divorce

By

Ariana Grande, the US singer, and Dalton Gomez, her husband, have finalised divorce after nearly three years of marriage.

Grande filed for divorce in 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

According to the Associated Press, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted the divorce on Tuesday.

Grande, 30, and Gomez, 28, who had separated earlier in 2023, had a prenuptial agreement and welcomed no children together. This, with the lack of major legal disputes, allowed for a swift resolution.

The terms of the settlement, agreed upon in October, included a one-time payment of $1.25 million from Grande to Gomez, with no future alimony.

The pop star, who has an estimated net worth of $240 million, will also receive half the proceeds from the eventual sale of their Los Angeles home and contribute up to $25,000 towards Gomez’s attorney fees.

The couple began dating in January 2020 and quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They appeared together in the video for the Justin Bieber charity single ‘Stuck With U’ in May of that year.

By December, they were engaged and got married in May 2021.

The music star recently released her seventh studio album titled ‘Eternal Sunshine’.

She will be playing the good witch Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo in the two-part film adaptation of the stage musical ‘Wicked’, which is scheduled for release in November.
