How does a woman choose a man to marry.

I'm hearing more and more women say, "I need a man, but I don't have time to wait a year for marriage." Now that's pretty stressful, right?

Dating is a time to dwell together, relax, enjoy and learn about each other. Spending 90% of your time running around trying to rush into marriage and have babies is not an ideal situation. Over time, a man knows when he is ready to get married. You should not want to marry a man that is not ready for marriage.  As women we should want to fall in love and love the characteristics and inner soul of our future husband. Meeting a man and asking him initially about babies can be a turn off for both of you over time. Chemistry is something that does not lie. If chemistry is there, wait to build on that chemistry to see where your dating will take you. After a few dates, you should know if you are ready to exclusively date and prepare yourself for marriage. However, here are a few pertinent questions and observations you should make before wanting to marry:
  1. Does he love God and attend church?
  2. Does he treat you as though, you love him more than he loves you? Instead of the other way around.
  3. Does he treat you with endearment. Does he feel as if he cannot be without you?
  4. How does he talk about his ex-girlfriends?
  5. How were his previous breakups/marriages?
  6. How does he treat his mother or women in his family?
  7. What are his life plans? Is he just living life day by day?
  8. Is he overly aggressive toward you after a dispute?
  9. What is his type of woman? ( Ex. dark, light, petite, solid, curvy, long hair, short hair)
  10.  What are his Family traits/genetics? (Ex. sickle cell trait, mental illness)
