Did you know that a major cause of divorce is a lack of knowledge regarding the spouse's needs?
Marriage is essentially about meeting needs
Are you meeting your partner's needs based on what you like or based on what they want?

We must understand her/ his needs if we are to meet those needs.

Finding your soul mate
If you are a person with a destiny, the relationship you are in can either enhance you or slow you down.
Many people's approach to relationship is:
Hook up with somebody and make the best of it.
That's a potentially dangerous path to tread
In your quest to finding your soul mate, If you fail to observe these important principles, you could be in for a rude awakening:
1. Chemistry 2. Connection 3. Wholeness 4. Divine confirmation 5. A sense of purpose
Get the facts before it's too late
Did you know that one of the principal causes of divorce is the lack of proper premarital preparation?
Never get married without premarital preparation. There's a 99 percent likelihood you'll live to regret it
NEVER
Never marry out of desperation. i.e. Lack of money or opportunity, the biological clock is ticking, all your friends are getting married, you are bombarded with unkind comments by friends and family.
Be Strong!
Better be a happy single than a miserable double
Never marry a NARCISSIST.
I tell it all inside the course
NEVER
Don't marry her/him merely because your dad, mom, friend or church elder made the recommendation, or thinks that the perfect person for you, even though you think otherwise
Never affix your signature to a contract without reviewing the terms of the agreement. Never sign the marriage vows until you do a thorough check on prized possession. Check 'em out. That's the principal purpose of proper premarital preparation
NEVER
Never marry someone who habitually abuses you verbally, sexually, physically or emotionally. Escape for your life
Never marry just because you got pregnant or had a child with him/her
Never marry until you do you checks and balances. Get to know about his/her past, present and future plans. Don't be blinded by infatuation. Get the facts- Marriage is real

TESTIMONIALS
After several years of marriage, my husband and I realized that our marriage was in trouble, so we asked God to provide a Godly councilor for us, and that he did. He provided Pr. Lloyd Allen, a man of wisdom and integrity. He gave us sound and biblical council. We can't express how happy and blessed we are. Pr. Allen, thank your for restoring our marriage! "CAFG"

"D&B"
Pastor Allen, Pastor Allen, Pastor Allen, Thanks sooo much for the book. I decided at midday today to begin reading it and was so riveted to the inspiration and wisdom that I couldn't stop until I had read all of the 63 pages. Your mastery in relating scenarios made the book so very relevant, and I'm certain that it will be a blessing and a success. I plan to gift some copies for the holidays and I must get one for myself because I like to read and underline. I made two pages of notes and anecdotes in my notebook today to ensure that the atrophied brain cells absorb the nutrition and start to work again!
Thanks again and I pray for continued abundance of blessings on you and family🏾
