Getting ready to tie the knot.

Getting ready for marriage is not just about attaining the marriageable age, a lot are considered before one can boldly say I am ready for marriage. You don't marry because you are getting old or your mates are married, you marry because you are ready for the task. **How do I know I am ready for marriage.** ​Before popping that question or giving your answer, you should examine yourself and evaluate somethings. Am I ready to tie the knot? To answer that, consider: **Taking care of your responsibilities:** is true money can never be enough, but before you think of marriage you should have savings and a paying job or handwork that fetches you money. Love can not stand without money, that's the real fact. If both of you are broke, you may end up separating because responsibilities will keep coming. A hungry man is an angry man. You mustn't be too rich but have enough to take care of your basic needs. **Tolerance:** human emotions changes, some call it a mood swing, your partner may wake up from the wrong side, getting angry over everything for no reason, if you are not matured in mind, you can pick offence, but if you are you can easily apologise for the offence you never committed. It happens to most women especially before their menstrual flow, some tend to be so aggressive while others will be so emotional, crying like a baby for no reason. That is normal and remember it happens every month, if you can understand these mood swings and not getting tired of her childish act then you are getting ready for marriage, the same thing is applicable to men, their mood change sometimes too, although they don't menstruate, other things can change their mood. A broke man is always aggressive, if you can tolerate such man at that point, then you are ready. **Ability to keep to yourself:** if you are a loose tongue, then you are not ready no matter your age. To live happily, your partner should be your best confidant, no third party. Learn to keep your matters away from outsiders, your parents are outsiders too. It's only on rare cases that you involve them, if not sort yourselves out, if this is so hard for you, then you still have a lot to learn before you say I do. **Your health status:** Know your blood group and genotype before starting a serious relationship. When you ignore this simple rule you are at the verge of getting a heartbreak or bringing in sick children. falling in love with the wrong blood can be so hurting especially when you are asked to end the relationship. Once you reach the age to marry, know yourself very well treat every sickness or disease that may bring a problem in your marriage.  **Your perception and understanding:**  Don't be too rigid, open up for corrections and try to understand things from others point of view. If you are the fault-finding type then you are way too far from getting ready, accept you are wrong and work towards making things right again. It doesn't end in accepting your mistakes,  **Self-control**: this I must say is very important, you can't stay in a marriage if you lack self-control. Be in charge, and never let your emotions ride you, with this, you can withstand the temptation of infidelity in marriage. All things being equal, these points are what to consider first before saying I do, others may follow but I call these ones the key points. I am back again, @Ashma hope you are fine now.
