12 WAYS TO CHOOSE SPOUSES FOR YOUR CHILDREN
Can you choose a spouse for your Children? Yes, you can, but not the way you think it to be. Its not by looking for a girl in your Church or neighbourhood and say this is the person you must married, not at all, making that final decision of whom to marry is in the hands of your Child base on divine direction and guidance from the lord and total conviction of the Child. If you try to force your Child to marry any one it will meet stiff resistance from the Child
Don’t ever think that whosoever your Child marries is non of your Business, your Children marriage will affect you in many ways, whosoever they marry will become your son and daughter in law and will give birth to your grand Children.
Whether your Children will continue in righteousness will also depend on whoever they marry, so you must be deeply involve as your Child get married (please get a copy of our book Titled: PARENTING ADULT CHILDREN)
