In our society today, the emphasis is to get married before you’re too old and “too old” varies from age 27 and above, depending on where you live. The rule should be “whatever you do, don’t marry the wrong person,” but society is so much concerned about 35-year-old single persons than it does on an unhappily married 35-year-old with two children. It makes no sense the former is one step away from a happy marriage, while the latter must either settle for permanent unhappiness or endure a messy divorce just to catch up to where the single
person is. The strong foundation for marriage is love cemented by the reasons why someone wants to go into marriage at that time with that type of man or woman. If your reasons to get married is to find someone to spoil you financially, then your focus will be for rich men and this is wrong because your missing rib might be poor but big in mind. And if your focus is to catch up with time, then you may
end up getting married to people you have never wished. ‘’Never be cheated, in marriage there are times when you do not need her beauty but her character and there are also times when you do not need her character but her beauty, so better have both.’’
The good walk in marriage should be cauterized by love “do I love him or her?” Have I found the right person? Am I settled to move on with
marriage? Normally there is an inner peace when you find the love of your heart at a right time. If both of you love each other and are willing to come together, then consider other factors other than love. “Are you willing to tolerate her nonsense? “. Remember that you are marrying someone who is not your relative and someone brought up differently and each one of you have different preferences. Since it’s not everything you can change from your partner, are you willing to buy into his or her weakness? Most importantly, both of you have future plans, so the question, is he or she a solution and best match in as far as you reaching your destiny is concerned? So, if you really take care of these prerequisites very well, you will find that some people who you waste timedating cannot even qualify to be with you even for a week.
