This will be a 10-month, soulishly intense and mentally challenging engagement preparation on all aspects. The engagement period is a very crucial point of my life where I will be preparing to spend my remaining life here on earth with another soul under a soon to be established divine institution ordained by God and recognized by every law of the land. My 10-month engagement period should be a time of honest assesment on my capabilities to take on the responsibility of taking another soul under my care and protection. Close scrutiny should be reflected on the only existing absolute standard which is the Word of God. The spiritual aspect of my preparation is on top of my list. The foundation of my norms and standards will be the basis of everything in my life. My conscience will be the key player of my future decisions. The condition of my spiritual life will directly affect all aspects, but this time of preparation is not limited to such training only.
In the course of my self-assessment period, I have to also financially discipline myself and make sure that biblical principles on money are being applied. I have to be faithful in the commitments I have made regarding my giving in my local church. All debts should slowly be taken care of and not increase its hold on me. It would be an accomplishment to start my married life debt free!
Health is also a major issue I wish to resolve in my life. It is important that I recognize this part as one of the foundation of the anticipated success of the whole marriage initiative process. My goals and aspirations in life will be meaningless if my health is compromised.
My soon to be wife is the second most important person right after the Lord Jesus Christ. I love her and will continue to love her with everything I have...personally and unconditionally! And to commemorate my commitment to my soon to be wife and mother of my children, I will be starting, pursuing, and finishing this initiative as best as I can!
This commitment was conceptualized on 0018hrs of the 6th day of January year 2013!
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
