I recently shared one of those fun "pick two" scenarios on my WhatsApp status...the kind that gets people thinking and talking.
The options were:
- Marry a perfect partner
- Unlimited skin care
- Unlimited free food
- ₦200k monthly
- $100k right now
You could only pick two.
What shocked me wasn’t just the choices people made, it was who was making them.
Married folks.
Folks already in covenant.
Folks who have a partner
Yet many of them still picked unlimited free food over marrying a perfect partner.
At first, I laughed.
Then I paused to reflect on it.
Could it be that we’ve stopped believing that "perfect partner" is even possible.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I'm not saying a flawless partner.
I’m talking about someone who’s perfect for you.
Someone who sharpens, supports, stretches, and strengthens you.
Someone who brings out God’s best in you and helps multiply what’s already in you.
That kind of partner?
That’s not a luxury.
That’s legacy.
But maybe we’ve seen too much mess in marriages.
Maybe too many have settled for survival instead of seeking out synergy.
Maybe we’ve traded covenant for convenience, and connection for comfort.
Maybe we no longer believe the word of God, that “two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9),
Or that “he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22).
Favor.
Multiplication.
Exponential results.
That's what a God-ordained, spirit-led, deeply yoked partnership brings.
It’s not just about love.
It’s about alignment.
And purpose.
So when we laugh and say “I’ll take the free food,” maybe it’s more than humor.
Maybe it’s a quiet confession.
A resignation to what feels more realistic than redeemable.
It’s safer to believe in jollof rice for life than in joy for life with a person.
But this one thing I know:
God still writes beautiful stories.
He still ordains kingdom partnerships.
And yes...He still gives people the perfect partner (imperfect humans made perfect for each other by divine grace).
So maybe instead of picking what fills our bellies,
We should long for what fills our souls...and ultimately, fulfills our purpose.
👣 Be Better. 💛 Love Better. 🙌🏾 Do Better.
