RECOMMENDED, BUT NOT MANDATORY FOR MARRIAGE

 For the best marriage, it is RECOMMENDED, but not MANDATORY, that the man must be above his wife in these ten areas:

•Age 

•Finances 

•Knowledge 

•Praying

•Fasting

•Strength

•Tolerance 

•Planning

•Wisdom, and 

•Patience 

Age, because men live longer when married to younger wives. Please research it. Don't just take my word or insult me because of a medical fact. 

Finances, because, as a man, you either foot the bill or go downhill. Knowledge, prayer and fasting because you are the priest of the home.

 Strength, since you are the head of the home, and will have to do the heavy lifting. 

Tolerance because her mouth will likely be sharper than yours, and without tolerance, there will be violence. 

Planning and wisdom, so you don't wear out your strength. And finally, patience so you don't do everything your mind tells you to do.
