Ladies, here’s the Bibilical checklist you need before saying yes to a man’s ring
So after Beyoncé influenced your mans at some random club to put a ring because he likes it, he embarks on planning a nice proposal for you- or simply informs you ‘tumeanza life na wewe sasa,’ especially if you already met the parents or have a child together, and that’s that.
If you have those romantic types, he would have the mind to honor you with the question, ‘will you marry me?’ after spewing out his heartfelt hopes, dreams, tears and other melodramas in between. If not, you probably will encounter the type who expects you to know you’re his wife now without even being informed- simply because you’ve been in a relationship for long or you live together so you’re a wife by naturalization.

But ladies, even as he expects his Proverbs 31 wife in this Sodom and Gomorrah era, did you ever stop to think what type of Bibilical husband you deserve? No? Well, Nairobi News- the lifesavers we are- is here to provide you with the list you need to print out and stick at the back of your phones, have a copy in your wallets, tuck in your bra especially on those girls party nights where every man will note that you are a wife material and above your door just before you step out of your house. Because this is a list you need to eyeball every single hour of the day! Here we go, and remember, the Bible- God!- wants this for you:
- Your future husband must place you like a seal over his heart or his arm because “love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame,” says Song of Solomon 8:6
- He must posses a love that transcends everything in life as prescribed in 1 Corinthians 13:2-7. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
- He must honor marriage and believe in fidelity to his wife. According to Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral,” so make sure you get his views on marriage and fidelity before y’all find yourselves planning a future together before any questions or bellies are popped.
- He mustn’t be a mama’s boy! Matthew 19:4-6 categorically states that a man shall leave his father and mother and be untied to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So if you are already noting signs of a mama’s boy in your mans before any proposal, murife run
