Before You Say I Do?

The spiritual part of getting ready:

You may have to ask yourself some questions and take an honest evaluation of where you are spiritually. Are you ready to submit to the leadership and guidance of your husband? If you had an emotionally absent dad or you are having problems at church or your job with listening to others in authority this may be an area you may need to work on improving. Do you love yourself and see yourself as God sees you? And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. There is no other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:30-31 NKJV). When you learn how to love God, he will help you to learn how to love others and yourself.

What is the reason that you wanted to be married? Some people have gotten married so they will not burn with lust. This is a biblical reason but the true motive is to be married to glorify God and to work together to advance His Kingdom on this Earth.

The emotional part of getting ready:

You may have to ask yourself some questions and take an honest evaluation of where you are emotionally. Have you healed and been delivered from entanglements in romantic relationships from ex-boyfriends and fiances also called soul ties? Have you gotten inner healing from issues/trauma with emotional hurts from your dad, and brother?

Are you emotionally whole? Are you able to put your husband first after God? The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, But she who is married cares about the things of the world- she may please her husband(1 Corinthians 7:34 NKJV). Are you lonely and tired of doing everything by yourself?

The physical part of getting ready:

You may have to ask yourself some questions and take an honest evaluation of where you are physically. Is your body in shape? Do you have any health issues?
Are you ready for physical intimacy? But since sexual immorality is occurring each man should have sexual relations with his own wife and each woman with her husband (1 Corinthians 7:2 NIV).

Do you need to heal from your partner cheating on you in past relationships or marriage? Do you need to heal from being abused, raped, molested, having a miscarriage, or an abortion? Are your hormone levels stable? Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers ( 3 John 1:2 NKJV).

The financial part of getting ready:

You may have to ask yourself some questions and take an honest evaluation of where you are financially. Do you have healthy spending habits, Are you in debt( need to pay off school loans, car loans, house loans, etc.)

Are you working? Can you contribute to the household bills, do you know how to budget? Do you overspend? Do you have a gambling problem? Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good and not harm, all the days of her life( Proverbs 31: 11-12 NIV).

Do you know how to save and invest money? She watches over the affairs of the household and does not eat the bread of idleness (Proverbs 31: 27 NIV).
