“And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.  But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.  And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed” (Genesis 2:5-8 KJV)

There are certain stages on the road to marriage; Acquaintance, date, proposal, courtship and marriage. Before a man crosses to the proposal stage on his road to marriage, he must have these 4 things I am going to share with you in today’s devotional.

These four fundamental things a man must have before even thinking about love, proposal and marriage are;

1. Worship
2. Assignment
3. Home
4. Maturity

Now let us take a closer look at them one after the other;

1. Worship

Until a man is settled on matters of faith, he has no business looking for a helper. Faith and the things we submit to determines a lot about our lives. Faith and religion determine what we wear, what we eat, what we ascribe to and even think. This makes it very important to settle on this all important decision before you consider taking a woman for his helper. Be sure you worship something and settled on that before proposing to a woman.

2. Assignment

The second thing is assignment, God did not give Adam a wife until He had given him his assignment. A man without an assignment is a stooge. We must have a definite assignment to be suitors for any intelligent woman. A wife is a helper; you must therefore choose the helper based on your assignment. You cannot choose a woman made and raised to help a politician when your assignment is to preach the gospel. It does not work like that.

3. Home

The third thing a man needs before proposal is a home. Adam had a home before Eve came. God planted a garden and put man there before Eve came. A man who deserves the attention of an intelligent woman must have an address.  A home goes beyond a rented apartment. A home is more permanent. It is unwise to meet a man in Accra and settle down. In Africa, it is important to know where he hails from. This is so that you can track him to his family. This may be different in Europe and elsewhere but here in Africa, don’t sleep with a man until you know his family house in his hometown.

4. Maturity

Lastly, a man must show and possess maturity if he wants a wife. Woman, don’t marry a boy! We must strive for maturity so that we can bring up our families in the style of royalty.

Remember! Son, you need worship, assignment, home and maturity before thinking of proposing to a wife.

Stay blessed; I love you!
