🎯In this article, you will learn the 5 important maturities you need to attain before marriage.

Maturity is one of the principal requirements as far as preparing for marriage is concerned because marriage comes with a lot of responsibilities that only a mature person can handle.

Marriage is not for babies, it’s for those who are mature.

If you marry as a baby, you will cry tire for marriage.

By definition, maturity is a state of being fully mature, ripe, fully developed, and grown.

It’s important that you attain these maturities before you marry.

1. Physical Maturity

Physical maturity refers to the development and growth of the body, reaching its full potential in size, strength, and physical capabilities.

Physical maturity involves the following 👇

👉 Full development of physical attributes (height, weight, muscle mass)
👉Sexual maturation (menstruation, voice change, etc.)
👉Development of fine and gross motor skills(ability to make precise use of your hands, fingers, wrist, and legs)
👉Physical coordination and balance
👉Overall physical health and well-being

Adam and Eve were fully mature and grown before they were joined in marriage.

2. Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual maturity refers to the development of a deep understanding, relationship, and connection with God. It involves cultivating a sense of purpose, meaning, and values, and living a life that aligns with God’s principles.

Spiritual maturity involves 👇

🛐Character development
🛐Connection with God
🛐Sense of purpose and meaning
🛐Cultivating the fruits of the Spirit(Compassion, empathy, and kindness towards others)
🛐Inner peace and contentment
🛐Becoming more like Christ

You have heard before that, spiritual controls the physical, that’s true.

Marriage has its spiritual dimension. One of the reasons why most marriages fail is because they lack divine covering.

A Godly and happy marriage is a threat to the devil, he does everything within his power to end such marriage.

Don’t be careless about your spiritual life. Be committed to it, give it attention, and be a true child of God. Be mature in spiritual matters. Don’t be a baby. Be a student of the Bible, be prayerful, and have a relationship with God.

I have read stories of how some men brutally beat, punched, stabbed, and matched their wives to untimely death. I have also read how some women stabbed their husbands in their sleep to their deaths. I have read how some jealous partners pour acid on their partners. Most of these incidents can be attributed to the inability to handle emotions.

Emotions can mar or make a marriage, it can make your marriage heaven or hell on earth, so you must learn how to manage them.

Read books on emotional intelligence, anger management, attitude, conflict resolution, managing emotions, etc.

Our words and actions reveal the quality of our mental state. We you talk or act, you reveal whether you are a baby or an adult. Your level of mental maturity will determine the quality of your decisions and choices.

Money pays bills, not love.

So, be financially mature. Learn a trade, learn a skill, have a steady stream of income, and learn to save and invest.
