Before I do
Listen to this Insight
<span class="html-content"> <p>I come to you today as a preacher of love, the liquid metal, and the Idaboski pahose! I want to lend credence to an idea common to most people in relationships, particularly those with marriage in sight. </p><p>Note this: before you say I do, say I don't, then act I do, and act I don't. Marriage influences the lifespan of an individual! </p><p>Let me put things in context. If you're considering exchanging the 'till death do us part' vows with someone, then you have to be very clear on where you stand on certain issues. Similarly, try to avoid ambiguity and vagueness so it won't cost you later. I know the pressure is getting wersser, but you don't want to go into 'happily ever after' without clarity on some issues. </p> <p>Accordingly, humans are experts in the act of deception, so some things may not be as they seem. People will do anything to get those they want to like or fall for them, but what happens afterwards will shock you. You realise that the person who swept you off your feet will not be able to hold you back from falling! </p> <p>Act according to your standards and compromise carefully! </p><p>Pay attention to red flags and green flags. </p><p>In fact, pay attention to all flags!</p> <p>Pray for discernment and be ready. Marry right oooo, because it'll affect your lifespan.</p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn </p> </span>
