In most cases, men tend to take too long to get married or rather enter into serious relationships that result in marriage.
There are factors a man should put into consideration before taking a step in courtship or identifying the right partner to marry.
Men should consider the following factors before getting into marriage:
1. Financial stability
For any marriage to prosper, a man should at least have a source of income, either employed or running a business to sustain the family in terms of basic necessities.
What hinders most men from getting married is the economic constraints.
Some men even choose to further their studies with the expectation of marrying soon after college, only to be rendered jobless due to limited job opportunities.
2. Maturity
Marriage is an independent social institution that needs no experience, but one’s resilience to challenges that emerge in the union.
How partners handle themselves during a family crisis or conflicts, determine how mature they are.
A man should be physically mature enough to take responsibilities and solve family problems amicably by prioritising the mutual interest of the family.
3. Psychological readiness
Before a man gets married, he should have a clear knowledge of what it entails to be a father and a husband.
A man should be well conversant and prepared to juggle responsibilities in marriage.
Therefore, prior preparation enables one to counter challenges along the way.
