If you are single and still searching, the following pieces of advice are for you. As you continue your search for the right person to marry, please take note of the following important points:
Do not fight over any man or woman since there are many fishes in the river.
Do not feel bad simply because the man or woman you were planning to marry jilted you. It is better to have a broken courtship than to be divorced.
Do not keep malice with any man or woman for refusing to marry you. It may be that the two of you were not meant to be together. The Bible says that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8: 28).
Do not be desperate to marry; otherwise, you may end up marrying the wrong person and regret forever.
Do not marry an unbeliever no matter how desperate you may be to get married. It is better not to marry at all than to marry an unbeliever (See 2 Corinthians 6: 14- 18; Exodus 34: 16).
Do not marry any man or woman out of pity or fear of offending him or her. Marry the person you know you truly love.
Do not give your body to any man in order to make him love and marry you. He may think you are cheap and decide not to marry you. Besides, premarital sex is a sin against God. The Bible calls it fornication (See Matthew 15: 19; Acts 15: 20; 1 Corinthians 6: 9- 10, 6: 18, 7: 2; Galatians 5: 19- 21).
Do not expect to find all the qualities you want in a man or woman before you marry. Some men and women are still not married today because they are too choosy.
Do not approach two people at the same time for marriage. Be sure of who you want and go for him or her.
Do not beat around the bush, but go straight to the point. As soon as you find the right person to marry, propose to him or her without delay.
Do not say yes to more than one person; it will amount to double dealing.
Do not borrow material things to impress a woman to marry you. Be yourself and let her love you for whom you are.
Do not paint your face to make a man love and marry you. Be your natural self and let the man who genuinely loves you come and marry you.
Be polite and do not be rude to anyone who is showing interest in you for marriage.
Do not give false hope to any man or woman for marriage. That will be counted as deception.
Do not give up no matter how long it takes to find your life partner. An American proverb says, “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.”
Do not rush into marriage simply because you see your friends getting married. If you rush into marriage, you may soon rush out of it. Be patient and do not be in a hurry to marry.
Take time to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the right person for marriage.
Keep on praying until you are sure you have gotten the right person to marry.
