For every man intending to marry, here are 5 important things you should do first;

1. Learn to be responsible

Marriage comes with a heavy need for responsibility. As a man, the moment you exchange rings with the woman you love, responsibilities come in tonnes. Be ready to always take care of a family that you are yet to have; their needs and also time for them.

2. Be ready to work harder

Again, planning to marry means you have to be ready to work harder. Why? Because you will have additional needs. That is; you will have additional people you call a family. You, therefore, have to be ready to earn extra income to sustain this family. 

3. Get to know her family

Once you come together with a woman, you become part of her family and she does the same with your family. So for the good part of it, get to know her family and be used to them in time. 

4. Live on your own for a while

There is a group of men who move from their parents' home straight to marriage. This is not advisable. You need to stay alone for some time so you can learn how to live and do things on your own. 

You should learn to cook and clean the house because there are times when your wife won't be around, or she'll become pregnant and you'll need to help her. 

5. Have a stable job or business

Before a man decides to marry, he must make sure he has a stable job such that his financial life is secure. Additionally, one should have a stable business for extra income. In short, any man seeking to marry should be financially stable.
