Is it okay to Marry a person you met on Social Media?
On several occasion, I have been asked if it was okay to marry a person you met on social media.
Although I always give answers to them, let me clearly state and this is from my heart and my own perspective. You may have another way to explain it or say it, but this is on my own part.
There is nothing wrong in marrying a person you met on Social Media.
When you add/follow a person on social media, I believe you don't marry them immediately? Something must lead to something which involves communication that triggers the process.
For some, it begins with comments to a post or likes you get whenever they post an article. For others, it begins with a chat. Whichever works for you.
Some folks have not really been lucky with finding someone here as most men or women who ask for friendship always have negative aim/ambition ranging from defrauding them of their funds, hit and run what some call players etc..
The truth here is
So many have been lucky on their part as they have successfully found someone suitable for them here (Social Media)
I know a fellow that found the love of his life on Facebook. Let me share little of that testimony.
I run a page on Facebook ''Purposeful Living with Kosi Ebirim' '.
Page started running in 2015 and in 2015 ending or early 2016, I got a message from a follower there where he invited me for his wedding. They met on that platform and although I couldn't make it to the wedding, it went well and today, they have a son and the last time he wrote to me early June, they were doing well.
There are thousands of others who also have great testimony as it concerns meeting someone here. You know yourself! (Smiles)
Can I marry someone I met on Social Media?
The answer is yes.
There are good/bad people here. Everyone come from a home. A family. Some with good intentions and others with bad intentions. Who you decide to bring close to you is your choice to make.
Just like meeting someone here, you can also meet someone in church, your fellowship, your neighborhood, workplace or school, and they end up creating a bad memory to you.
Where you meet a person doesn't guarantee the duration of that relationship and whether it will last or not.
I know of an encounter In a Church where a brother promised different female members of the church marriage. In fact, the brother was a committed member/worker in that church. He defrauded some, broke their heart and emotionally damaged their perspective about men even in church. Thank God they found out on time before he took to his heels.
What am I trying to say?
Whether meeting a person on social media or not, you know what works for you. Ask God for direction and also access the people you bring into your life. Some are good and some are evil. Checking their profile is not even enough. Their sweet words is not enough. Some can melt your heart with words. That is not enough.
If a person comes all out to scam or cause pain on others via Relationship, they will come prepared. So what? Invite God to come in. Let Him do His work, give you peace and make every good plans work for you.
If you see signs pointing the negative direction, don't fail to pause. No rush. Take your time. Let God be your peace.
