God Over Money artist Jered Sanders has many clamoring for the release of the upcoming album ‘Hope Is Dope 2’ and this recently released single “Doing It Wrong” will only add fuel to the fire. Jered tells the story of one of his friends who got married and was “Doing It Wrong.” The fact that Jered’s friend told him to write about this story and make it public to serve as a warning makes it even better. Jered had this to say about the new single, “Do we HAVE to get married to be somebody? Do we HAVE to get married to be emotionally fulfilled? Do we HAVE to get married to gain favor with God? The answer to these questions is ‘no’. It’s my gut feeling that a significant number of people are seeking marriage for the wrong reasons. Understanding some of the wrong reasons for which people get married may help us to better know why some people are unfaithful stewards of singleness. Some of the WRONG reasons to marry include: Pressure, loneliness, desperation, sexual hunger, to be a distraction from your own life, guilt, or even to fill up your emotional and spiritual emptiness. Like many these days, I had a homie that got married for the wrong reasons. He was full of pride, lust, and arrogance. He had a ton of old ‘skeletons’ in his closet and past issues he never resolved within himself, so he thought he’d built up so much ‘bad karma’, he’d need a ‘good girl’ to clean up his image and stroke his ego. She loved him far beyond his faults, but he continued to do her wrong behind her back. One day however, she began to notice his isolation, the flipped over cell phone, and ducking off for private conversations. She noticed the defensiveness when she’d ask where he’d been and the poor communication. She finally decided to check the phone bill and put it all together. He wasn’t ready for marriage and she wasn’t willing to share her husband with the countless other women that had been with her husband. She filed for divorce and he was left to think about his decisions. He realized he was broken and had broken a good woman’s heart. After our conversation (post divorce), he told me to write about his situation and let it serve as a warning to men seeking marriage for any of the aforementioned reasons. Let’s do marriage the RIGHT way.” Peep the single below and go pre-order Jered’s album if you haven’t already!!!
