Before You Say I Do: A Diaspora Marriage Guide for Africans

By Joseph Mojoko Koroma and Rev Joseph Mojoko Koroma

This book, " Before You Say "I Do," You Must First Say "I Am, " emphasizes the importance of self-awareness as the foundation for a healthy and lasting marriage, particularly for Africans in the diaspora. It challenges readers to reflect on their identity, values, and emotional readiness before committing to marriage. Addressing the cultural complexities of merging families, navigating traditions, and balancing ancestral heritage with modern realities, the chapter underscores that love alone is not enough. It calls for maturity, clarity, and intentional communication, highlighting the need to discuss essential topics like faith, finances, family expectations, and legal considerations. With a strong focus on community, mentorship, and spiritual alignment, it distinguishes between preparing for a wedding and preparing for a marriage--urging couples to lay a strong, thoughtful foundation before taking vows.
