9 MODULES

MODULE 1
 
WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR MARRIAGE?
* Role Expectation
* I explore the Four (4) basic sources that inform your partner's perspective of marriage
1. One's upbringing
2. The Media
3. Friends
4. The proper sources of information e.g. Church, Bible-based reading material, higher learning, Family workshops, etc
Note: These are the basic sources that make your partner who he/she is, except some impactful influences intervened to change the natural order of learning.
If these sources were flawed, then your partner will naturally have a distorted perspective of marriage. How your partner managed to navigate these influences of life will determine how fit they are for a marital relationship. 
 
Get the facts before it's too late.

An important way to plan your marriage is to receive proper pre-marital preparation

Module 9

His Needs/ Her Needs

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?

Why do you take your car to the gas station? Do you drink gas? NO!  You are just giving the car what it needs.

 

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

Marriage is the union of TWO SERVANTS IN LOVE.        Marriage is essentially about MEETING 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

Enroll 

My heart has been sufficiently impacted by human woes. The pain and heartache that more than fifty (50) percent of the population is enduring in a failing marriage is disturbing.

 

I am committed to assist in stemming the tide of divorce and repair the brokenness in relationships.

 

I stand ready to help you. This is your opportunity. Arm yourself with knowledge  

No longer will you navigate marriage like a novice, or a simpleton, hoping it will work. Instead you will launch into this life-long journey of romance with a calm confidence that this relationship will become a success story.

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"

Hi Pastor, thank you sooo much for taking the time to counsel B & myself.. I have always admired the way you treasure Sis Allen. with so much love & respect..God has truly blessed you 
with a wonderful family. You are my role model & I thank God for you.

{Then}

Things are going good!  Your counseling & prayers have brought us even
closer! We no longer " by the Grace of God' utter any negative words to each other 
Thank you 

"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🏾
