Nothing tests your Christianity like being married – Solomon Buchi

Popular Nigerian author and life coach, Solomon Buchi has given his two cent why he thinks that the greatest test for a Christian is marriage.

Taking to his Twitter handle, X, Solomon Buchi opined that marriage exposes a person’s weakness and their fraud.

According to him;

‘’Nothing tests your Christianity like marriage. You think you’re patient? Marry first. You think you love God? Marry first. You think you’re a good person? Marry first. You think you’re forgiving? Marry first. You think you love like Christ? Marry first.

It can be easy for outsiders to think of you as a loving, kind and Christ minded person, but only your spouse knows if indeed you are all people say you are. Often times, we find it easy to be patient and loving to outsiders than our partners.

It’s really not because we are evil people, but because feelings are deeply involved in marriages. The romantic affair in marriage makes it difficult to always stay kind and loving. Deep love creates deep disappointment, and at the extreme, much hate.

The biggest test of character on a relational basis is in marriage. You know only but a little about yourself till you marry. Marriage reveals our weakness, exposes the fraud that we are, and if you like, can propel you to be better.

I write this without condescension to singles. Singleness is God’s gift, but it can be convenient because all that you are hasn’t been tested and verified by someone you’re not just romantically involved with, but nuptially tied to. Marriage tests your Christianity.”
