The first advice I will give you is
to get married for the right reasons, not
due to pressure.
Sometimes we end up telling ourselves or we
listen to folks who tell us that we've
reached a certain age or our biological clock
is ticking.
Our friends, our siblings, our mates and our
age are all married and we wonder what's
wrong with us. Now you are not them
and every story is different. This is not
a competition
and it's not about them, it's about you.
They may be miserable
while they are married yet you may be
single and actually at peace.
This is real life. Marriage can make or
break you. You have to realize this is
an important decision. You cannot rush into it
and you can't just settle.
There are many more reasons why folks get
married. For some, it's because of wealth. Yeah.
They want to be comfortable. They want to
live the good life.
They want to belong to a certain social
class.
But all the money in the world cannot
buy you happiness, cannot buy you peace of
mind or contentment.
You may want wealth now. You want to
live the good life now and be very
comfortable. But trust me, someday,
years from now, you're gonna want something deeper,
something more, something richer, and more meaningful, which
money cannot provide.
