Good day all

I noticed that most churches especially the not so new ones insist intending couples seek the face or mind of God towards their union.

This is to ensure the supposed union has heavenly approval.

So the big question is this, Do they really hear from God, like words to the ears or is it the usual God given instinct that every one possess that they eventually rely on

I know for instance that that if someone meets a good wife or husband material, there is this peace of mind that comes with being with the person or the thought of getting married to the person.. It is worth to note that this feeling, instinct or intuition is also present in a normal human being

So,please do you guys really hear from God before getting married
Hearing from God? It is all fallacy even from the time immemorial.
Bible makes us to understand that " he who has a good wife encounters God's favour". So, just pray to God to give you a woman of your dream and accept whoever you are given as your lot provided she is not an infidel because that's a pill practically no sane man would ever want to swallow.
NOTE: Women will always be women

The things of GOD is Foolishness to those that Perish..

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Everybody is hearing from their desires- that’s my firm take and there is no better way to ensure validation other than to say ‘God said’. The voice of the people oops couple is the voice of God.. in other words...

This is the most rational conclusion, I have attended churches, one thing I discover is, there are some fervent brothers and sisters in that church with some kind of special needs (like very short guys, ugly ladies, poor guys, funny teeth, one leg shorter than the other, and so on).

This sets of special persons are very fervent, comes to all church program, fast and pray, are workers, speak in touch.
Now anytime one of them says he/she sees the will of God for a regular person, the person always reject.

But when a handsome guy with car appears before he is six months in church he is married to the most fervent lady, or when a beautiful lady comes every fervent brother will see her.

It's simple, you see what you want!

Many pastors who you know as men in constant connection with God have turbulent marriages, some are divorced.
Pay attention to warning signs and red flags. Make sure you both are compactible before getting married.

A friend of mine,a Medical Doctor had this girl he wanted to marry..

Have gone to the girls house and the parents knows and approved of him..

They were all supportive of the relationship..

Until one guy from Italo appeared in the picture..

Suddenly their PASTOR told them that my guy was not right for their daughter..

Says they forsaw death if she marries my guy..

Finally after the whole threat and pressure,my guy had to back off..

The girl got pregnant and the marriage date was fixed..

The supposed one chosen by God,according to her parents and Pastors couldn't make it to the wedding..

Because he was locked up in Italy for a crime he was involved in..

Una wey they hear from god,over to you..

Hearing from God before marriage is all imagination. People who claimed to have heard from God before they got married only heard from their mind what their hearts had already chosen.
Are we saying great men of God like Apostle Ayo Babalola, Pastor Chris Okotie and the likes never prayed before they got married and yet happened to have married wrongly?

My experience - First off, I am not overly religious. Just before I got married, I had two guys interested in me: my husband and a young Nigerian doctor in America. Naturally, most girls would want to go for the doctor. I was praying for/about him one night when I heard a distinct voice in my thought say to me "Pray for (my husband's full name) instead. I was surprised.. At this time, I didn't even know his full name. I later found out his full name was what I heard. My husband was working, but his financial standing was nowhere near the doctor's. I wanted to rebel but I couldn't shake off that voice. I considered that God's direction and we got married. We've been married 12 years.

Unlike the Biblical days of Adam and Moses, you wouldn't really expect God to whisper into your ears and validate your choice of a partner for marriage. Instead, nowadays, I think it's more of feelings of connectedness, peace, happiness and love towards the intending partner. Finally, above all establishing real friendship is key, even over and above love.

A times people go to churches that the priest there doesn't or have no patience to hear from God or that they don't have patience to wait for a pure refined truth from God. Thus the issue of divorce....

Hearing from God may not actually be through a voice , it may be rather a test that the Priest can use to know the right partner for anybody, Wisdom is profitable to direct...

A priest can ask questions around, pray to God for direction, and before you know it, issues will spring up, and the priest will kindly use it to know what to say.....

Even as you come for marriage classes, the priest must have known if it will work or not by the understanding between two of you

The answer is simply NO!

Not true.

Fact is Marriage is a black market and only those who commit to doing their due diligence before going into it (or going away from it - as the case may be) get the best of it.

Truth is many young people tend to be lazy about the premarital assignments that would give them clear indications that should inform their decision. These laziness is responsible for "turning to God" for "His will"! But God wasn't going to do for Man what He has given Man the capacity to do for himself!
Many young people even depend on the approval of, or outright matchmaking by their 'spiritual authorities' in order to commence a relationship! So, when they see the red flags, they either turn to these spiritual authorities for " counseling " or reassured themselves that because 'God has approved it, it will work' ... But that's a lame notion as they're soon to find out!

Now, before you accuse me of heresy, Biblical account tells us God was directly involved in only 2 match-makings - Adam's and Isaac's. Well, both men turned to blame God when their women started doing the 'feminine thing'! I want to believe, since then God has squarely placed the responsibility of choosing a wife on the Man! - If you chose wrongly, then blame thyself...

The point is, Marriage is full of punctuations. Those who do not ask the right questions would end up with the worst exclamations.

I don't know if the quote below is true but the Bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. Finding means it is your responsibility. God has given us a choice and has given us guidelines to follow while we make choices. I don't think he chooses wife for people. He didn't choose for Abraham, he didn't choose for Isaac, he didn't even choose for Jacob why will he choose for you. He gave a wife to Adam and Adam blamed him that it is the wife that was given to him that made him to sin.

Many will blame God for their failed marriages if he chooses for them, so he asks men to go and find a wife but we are over spiritual in our churches today and so we have started listening to and accepting the counsel of demons. He who finds a wife finds a good thing, visit places where good women can be found and get a wife, unfortunately we won't we prefer making things more complex and overly spiritual.

See eh even with claim the two people involved have to roll up their sleeves and get to work to make their marriage work and not rely solely on miracles to see them through.

Personally , there are so many factors.
That u hear from God doesn't mean there won't be challenges in the marriage.

There are normal home training u need to have nd if u don't have it marriage can't work even if u hear from God.
