    TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

    Choose Your Marriage Mate Wisely

    Solomon unwisely married women who worshipped false gods (1Ki 11:1, 2; w18.07 18 ¶7)

    Solomon’s wives gradually inclined his heart away from Jehovah (1Ki 11:3-6; w19.01 15 ¶6)

    Jehovah became furious at Solomon (1Ki 11:9, 10; w18.07 19 ¶9)

    Collage: A single sister doing personal Bible study and thinking about a single brother. 1. The brother comments at a congregation meeting. 2. He participates in public witnessing. 3. He helps maintain the Kingdom Hall.

    God’s Word counsels single Christians to marry “only in the Lord.” (1Co 7:39) Yet, baptism itself does not qualify someone as a suitable mate. Will the person help you to keep serving Jehovah whole-souled? Has the person shown a deep love for Jehovah over time? Before agreeing to marry, take time to get to know your prospective mate well.
