You do not need to have everything before thinking of getting married. There is always a day for small beginning for everybody.
The most critical aspect of marriage is choice making. In making the choice of a life partner, do not leave it in the hands of you parents, pastor or friends. You are the person that will live with the woman and not those people. Your satisfaction and not theirs should be uppermost.
Depend on God to direct you. Do not depend on your understanding. God who knows the plan He has for you also knows the person that will help you in achieving that plan.
Do not be afraid of bride price. It can always be negotiated downwards. You can pay in part and pay the balance according to the agreement you have with your parents-in-laws.
God will reveal to you who your spouse is through the usual channel. He normally communicates with you through a dream, a strong impression, an inner witness, or any other means.
Getting married should not end with thinking alone. You need to prayerfully begin to search. If you are serious God will help you to find.
Marriage is a divine and faith project. Take a step of faith to make a marriage proposal after finding your ideal wife.
