This is reflected in the way one speaks b) Lower beauty (associations). Show me your friends and I will show you how your life will end. Proverbs 13:20; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Amos 3:3 c) Front beauty (vision). Dont get yourself involved with somebody who has no direction in life. d) Back beauty (upbringing). How was this person brought up? Whats his background? This will help you to identify the challenges that you need to deal with in prayers. Proverbs 22:15 e) Inner beauty (quiet and gentle spirit. Holiness and integrity) - 1 Peter 3:16 f) Outward beauty (physical outlooks) Attitude Towards Marriage 1. Receive it as a gift from God 2. Have respect for your spouse 3. Make your marriage represent heaven Your life will never be the same! God bless you.
