Below are the 5 commandments of waiting:
📌 Get a Life.
This is the time you should be known for something. Either a job, a skill, or a business. People should be able to point out what you are doing.
📌 Build Capacity.
Waiting before marriage is a time you should build capacity-- mentally, financially, emotionally and socially. Build godly and healthy relationships with people of like-minds. Have strong emotional intelligence and gain control over your temper.
📌 Personal Development.
Use the waiting period to set values for yourself. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. Be disciplined. Set targets for yourself and be able to crush them. Take care of your health too. Have a sense of accountability.
📌 Overcome Negative Mindsets.
The success of any marriage starts with the individual mindset. Do away with negative mindsets such as: Men are evil, unfaithful and dishonest; All women are the same. No, they are not! Good and godly men and women still exist.
📌 Be Prayerful.
Prayer boots your faith in God for your own marriage. Have a strong prayer life. Let the Holyspirit be your guide always. Prayer can never be over-emphasized when you yearn for a godly home.
Finally, the waiting time is not a wasting time. I am rooting for you.
