Do not rush to marry. Take it slow. Take your time.
Marriage is never a race. The fastest seldom wins.
But the one who starts right and perseveres throughout does.
Build friendship first. It will be your strongest foundation later on.
Remember, looks and talents are fleeting and so are material things.
What lasts are character and maturity.
Know your essentials. Don’t compromise these.
Learn to let go of some preferences too. They can be done without.
The delays and mishaps have its reasons. Forgive and forget. Look forward and move on.
Don’t dwell on the past also.
Never blame others and self for your mistakes.
Instead, learn and grow from them.
Just don’t keep on repeating them as that’s foolishness already.
Don’t get ahead with God by the way.
He knows what’s best for you. Just trust in Him.
Get busy working on yourself as you wait.
Improve and be the best person that you can be.
I got married at a ripe old age of 37.
I courted my wife for more than three years.
And we’re blessed with two cute daughters.
I married right. Not too early and not too late.
This sharing is my way of paying it to forward the goodness I receive from the Lord Almighty through my marriage.
Oh yes, marriage is a bliss indeed and a beautiful thing if done right.
Don’t miss this out for you deserve only the best.
I give a toast to the married and soon to be married people reading this.

I hope I find that someday! Beautiful post!

I was 25; my wife was 19; marriage lasted 4 years. Almost 40 years later we got together again. That was 10 years ago. We remarried last year. Seems to make your point 🙂

Great tips,
I agree. At the end friendship is the most important part of every marriage. When friendship disappears, marriage breaks !
