This is when you have met you spouse and both of you have done all the requirements or about to do it.
Marriage is not the money you have to spend but the life you have to share. If you ask some single people why they are not married yet, they will tell you I have to make some money, I have to pursue that career and so on. Before you know it the courtship is lasting for unwanted number of years.
If you have found your spouse, go ahead plan the marriage and work towards actualizing those plans. The following tips may be of help, at least I hope so.
Resolve to settle down
Just make up your mind, the problem is the way you see things. The money or career is not the issue here that you are married will not dissuade you from your goals.
Commit it to God
With God all things are possible. Every good and perfect gift comes from God. Don’t make a move not until you have told God about it.
Walk in wisdom
Wisdom is the principal thing, in all your getting get wisdom. Wisdom will always direct you on what next and on how to plan.
Find out what to do
Make enquiries, ask questions, seek counsel and gather relevant information that can aid you. Meet family members; both yours and that of your spouse, let them orient you on what to do and possibly tell you the requirements. Write them down, tailor the information and move to planning
Plan the event
The procedures involved in wedding require proper planning. You may involve comity of friends or better still writ the stages and how to go about them.
Make a budget
Don’t think of borrowing, just make a sketch of the expenditures at the lowest profile within your resources, if you have money to spend then you can even plan a jet wedding. All I’m saying here is don’t allow the money to deter you and don’t think to borrow.
Operate in faith
You have to be resolute in your faith. Stand firm and walk towards actualizing your desire. Faith will carry you through, it will bring the help you need, and it will even bring the money you need to spend. See a successful marriage, look beyond the celebration.
Involve helpers
You don’t have walk round begging people, just commit them by telling them your plans and involving them prayerfully. This is the place of comity of friends; they will always run round to see the success of the wedding.
Avoid distractions
Once you start plans, discouragement will come, no going back go ahead with the plan, you will see that all will pass. So, don’t yield to distractions.
Don’t be under pressure
One thing I hate is being pressured by anything. I hate to be worried, so anytime there is a cause to be worried I just take my time to handle it without being pushed or pressurized. One way to overcome pressure is tell yourself you can’t change a thing if you can’t change it, but I will do all I can. Before you know it worries are gone. Then most times you get it done and find out there was no need to be worried. After all you need your mind to settle things.
