The sole reason why God created the man and the woman, joining them together in Marriage is so they can raise godly seed; godly children (Malachi 2:15). Thus from the construction industry's perspective, the intended Project of every Marriage Contract is Godly Children, the contractor that executes this project is the wife and the client / Financier is the husband.
The Project procurement system in marriage is the Traditional Procurement system; where the design intent must be completed alongside other necessary documents (customary and legal requirements).
As the client (potential husband), be clear with what you want (have an intent) and be conscious of the what you must give up to get it (the cost). Don't send out invitation to treat (ask a lady out) if you have no intent to treat (take her in).
As a potential wife (contractor), before making your offer in response to any invitation (a toast), do not just consider the capacity of the potential client (husband) but also your capacity to deliver on the project. Be sincere to yourself, with what you have, your attitude, your lifestyle, ... Can you deliver on the project of raising godly children?
Do not make the mistake of reducing your offer; bidding low by enduring or pretending to be unconcerned with certain behaviours from him in other just to enter into the marriage contract. Moreover, the client is not under obligation to award the contract to the contractor with the lowest bid, there are other technicalities he also considers. The marriage contract with all things been equal is binding for a life time legally, spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc. Hence study all the conditions and terms of the contract both expressed and implied before executing any marriage contract.
