Accountable

 YOU CANNOT BE MARRIED AND YET REFUSE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Marriage isn't just a romantic commitment; it's a covenant of accountability. If you choose to marry, you're choosing to be accountable, completely accountable. You cannot claim to love and respect your spouse while refusing to be transparent in your actions, decisions, and whereabouts. Love demands accountability. Respect requires it.

1. Be accountable with your finances. Every dollar spent affects your household. Discuss, plan, and be transparent about your spending and saving. Financial secrecy breeds mistrust, and mistrust erodes the foundation of marriage.
2. Be accountable in your actions. Your choices impact your spouse and children. Are you acting in their best interest? Are you considering the long-term effects of your actions on your family?
3. Be accountable with your decisions. Major decisions should never be made unilaterally. Marriage is a partnership, and every decision should reflect mutual respect and consideration.
4. Be accountable about where you are. Your spouse deserves to know where you are, not because of control, but because of care and connection.

If you can't commit to being fully accountable, then perhaps marriage isn't the right path for you. Accountability is the backbone of a healthy thriving marriage. It's the ultimate expression of love and respect for your partner and the life you build together.
