Every woman wants to hear the magic words of “will you marry me” and many will instantly say “yes!”. Then comes the wedding plans, trying to make the day be as memorable as possible. However, some tend to develop cold feet because they are about to be tied to someone and to make a vow before God, family, friends and the enemies who were invited for jealousy purposes. ‘Marriage is not a bed of roses’ as the common saying goes. That is way it is crucial to take time and think before getting ‘life-cuffed’. If you feel he/she is not the one, or you are not ready to be committed to that person for life, then RUN. Here are things that you should consider before saying ‘I Do’.
Before you dare say the word “I Do”, be extremely sure that you love that person and that you are ready to spend your life with him/her. Ensure that you are prepared to see that person every day and at their worst. Your woman is gorgeous with make-up? be ready to see the natural her when she is waking up. Do not marry someone that you are not certain that you love them no matter what.
2. Reason for getting married
Many women all over the world (and some men need i say) tend to marry the wrong people for the wrong reasons. Some marry because of pressure from parents, peers, or just because it is a right of passage. Some women say “I Do” for financial gain, pregnancy and many more reasons. Let the reason for getting married be because you love that person and you can’t live without him/her and you are prepared to stand by them for better for worse.
3. Are you ready to be faithful
Saying ‘I Do’ means that you have devoted your life to that one person. It means you have made your choice and from then on, admiring another person, flirting or sleeping around will now be termed as cheating or adultery. If you are ready to be faithful, then you are ready to say ‘I Do’.
4. Are you entirely prepared for marriage
Before saying ‘I Do’, it is important to be emotionally, physically and mentally prepared. This is because there are many things that will change and you will be required to stop thinking of yourself but of the other as well.
