The founder of Grace Mountain Ministry, popularly known as Alpha Hour Church, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, has issued a cautionary message to young women ahead of Valentine's Day in 2026.
He urged them to set criteria for choosing a partner carefully, noting that men and women often think differently and therefore prioritise different qualities when selecting a life companion.

He made this known during one of his Alpha Hour series ahead of Valentine's Day, advising young women on the factors men consider when choosing wives.
He explained that understanding these factors could help young women position themselves as prospective candidates for men who are seeking life partners.
"Women think they know men, but they know nothing about men. Before a woman marries a man, she has things that she looks out for, but before a man marries a woman, he looks at himself and not you."
"A woman will consider a man’s prospects, as well as how caring and responsible he is. She views a man’s prospects as part of her security, and also looks at how responsible and romantic he can be."
Pastor Elvis explained that performance in the bedroom may influence a woman's choice of a man, but men often do not consider this.
"Instead, he will begin to consider where she learned to be that good. In essence, women evaluate men before marriage, while men often evaluate themselves."

Pastor Elvis warns women over Valentine's Day
He further advised young women to discard the idea of using their bodies to entice men they hope will settle down with them, emphasising that this approach does not work in a man’s world.
He explained that the key factor determining a man’s decision to settle down is his own readiness, rather than the mere presence of a woman in his life.
"There is nothing a woman can do to determine a man's decision to marry. A man will not marry because he has a woman. He only marries because he feels he is ready to marry.
"So, he can wake up today and marry somebody he met last week, yet he would have been with you for five years. So, as a woman, you should never use your body to ground a man."
He therefore advised young women who use their bodies to entice men into marriage to avoid such behaviour.
"When a man is finally ready to marry, he will not focus on a woman's status, educational background or how much that person makes because he would have assessed himself first. If he can take care of himself and take care of another, he is good to go."
