Marriage is a lifelong enterprise. And it is a business that cannot blossom in a hostile environment as applicable in the business world. The foreigners in the Niger Delta had to go despite their expertise knowledge, when the militants became hostile to them.

Rejection is known with hostility with the aim of sending you out. You are to endure all manners of pain, hatred, disgrace, lack of respect etc where you are not accepted. Being in a wrong marital relationship could be likened to living with a life threatening virus in your body. Or better still a terminal disease like Leukemia, Tuberculosis, Chronic asthma, etc. For any of these, your immune system is the target of such virus. It quietly eats up your body defense mechanism. It takes away the strength, courage an desire necessary for pursuing your set goals. It renders its victim impotent before the final judgment. An afflicted person, no matter the height he/she has attained before his affliction, he/she drops out of the race of life. It is like a fast moving, leading athlete. So it is with either man or woman who finds themselves trading in a volatile environment as far as marriage is concerned. A wrong marital partner is doing the right thing in a wrong environment.

Living in an environment where you are not accepted has no medical cure. You waste your resources on valueless ventures, it will task your intelligent, your creativety becomes dull and unproductive.

To survive in this type of environment calls for knowledge.

1. You will employ both the sense and revelation knowledge.

2. The cord of love and unity between the couple must be strengthened daily. For a house that is divided against itself shall not stand.

3. You have to develop a strong faith in your marriage with a lot of patience.

4. Find or set a goal that will add value to your life as a couple and pursue it with full concentration.

5. You cannot afford to pay evil for evil. It is painful though but for the sake of your marital success, overlook the petiness of the people. Be busy building a strong, progressive and prosperous future and family.

To reign in the midst of your enemy, you need to become a voice to listen to.

How?

You progressively grow in your career or business.

Financially, there must be consistent growth. Money with good character turns your enemy to your friend and sometimes a servant. Material acquisition is necessary as a weapon to neutralize your enemies’ strength.

The truth is: people who reject you, are constantly monitoring your progress. The best way to put out enemy’s fire is for you to enjoy consistent upward movement in life. No matter how little, each progress breaks the wall of your enemies against you.

All these could be achieved through sense knowledge and right living. But it does not come cheap.

There is still another approach to rejection. This will come your way next.

Till then focus on your focus.
