*WHY ARE MEN CALLED "GROOMS" AND WOMEN “BRIDES” ON WEDDING DAY?*
Why is the newly wedded man called GROOM and the woman called BRIDE?
Many MEN had broken up with their WIVES because they ended up not being the WIFE that they had dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task.
Nobody calls the woman WIFE on her wedding day but BRIDE, because it is the man who will GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. That is why the man is called *BRIDEGROOM* or *GROOM* and the word GROOM has to do with PATIENTLY NURTURING, TEACHING, TENDING and HELPING someone to become what he or she should be.
It is therefore believed that a MAN who takes a WOMAN to the ALTAR of MARRIAGE is matured enough to patiently GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. The man is not supposed to just expect the BRIDE to automatically become the WIFE, she must be *groomed*.
It is clear that many men have unnecessary expectations when they were getting married. They want some magic to happen to their wives. They want them to become what they have had in mind about who they want their wives to be; not considering the fact that the woman does not know what is on their mind until they teach her.
Our expectations are often too unrealistic, because we don’t remember that change takes TIME and we can only expect something from someone who knows what we want.
So, before you think of breaking up, have you groomed her? Have you given her TIME to understand you? Hope you realize that a turtle will never become a hawk. God often brings two People who are opposites to each other together in MARRIAGE, so that they can HELP EACH OTHER in their places of weaknesses. If your WIFE is weak where you are weak, then where will you get the strength that is needed to uplift each other? The problem with many of us is that we don’t accept People before attempting to change them. Of course, your wives are not from your backgrounds. So, it will take TIME for them to adjust. Stop trying to change her. ACCEPT her, LOVE her, TEACH her and be PATIENT with her. That is what grooming is all about. She is going to be your WIFE but she is your BRIDE now. So, GROOM her. Stop complaining about her, she may be a turtle while you are a hawk.
She cannot fly.
So, be PATIENT with her. I don’t believe that your MARRIAGE can’t work. Be PATIENT and allow GOD to HELP you.
May Almighty God continue to be with us, guide and protect us in all our marital affairs. Amen!!! Wishing you the best Marital Life ever; to all the single Ladies,Bros and married couples here.
May you have the marriage of your dreams. A marriage is made in heaven.
God bless
