The final part is on how to prepare and position yourself to attract the right kind of man for marriage (identity).
Timing is as important as preparation.
Being prepared does not mean you are rushing. When I was preparing myself, I did not even know I would get married in the next 5 years, and I started preparing before 20.
It wasn't even because of marriage, but I was developing myself as a proper human being.
He who finds a wife finds a good thingβProverb 18:20.
If I wasn't preparing myself in a good way, would I have been attracted to the "finder"? No! He was only attracted to me because I was in position. (He did not even believe my age at the time, because I was behaving more matured than my actual age.) π

He left a relationship of almost ten years and proposed to me the second year of our relationship, yet he did not propose to whom he was with for almost ten years.
Your responsibility is preparation and positioning, not chasing, pursuit, pressure, or getting pregnant.
Men know the kind of woman they want; when they see it, they can do anything to get her and quickly wife her.
To attract the right kind of man for marriage, a woman must
1. Know her identity in Christ. Very important! (I got my husband born again even though he is from a Christian family). I had to cancel many hangouts because of church activities; he knew I could not trade church activities for mere hangouts. God first!
2. Develop godly characters. Forsake characters that do not glorify God. Forsake characters that grieve the Holy Spirit, and renew your mind with the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
3. If you are waiting, wait on purpose. Don't stop your life because of marriage. Continue with your life, career, business, and whatever you are involved in; marriage will come. Don't pause your life because of marriage.
4. Cultivate peace and self-respect. Have inner peace as the child of God, be anxious for nothing, and have self-respect. Do not compromise your values because you want to get married.
5. Guide your environment. Leave any environment that will cause you to dishonor God. Be in an environment that helps you to love God more while waiting.
6. Pray without desperation and trust God's timing. God is never late. He is always on time.
When a woman is rightly positioned, the right man will recognize her values without persuasion.
