Back to EpisodesHow do you know if they'd be a good husband or wife?
Description
The key question when dating is not whether the person is already fully prepared to be a good husband or wife, because marriage itself requires a level of maturity that is difficult to fully understand before experiencing it. Jesus taught that not everyone is mature enough for marriage, but He also indicated that those who are capable of growing into it should embrace it. That means you should look for more than someone who seems "ready for marriage." Look for someone who has demonstrated the ability to grow. Pay attention to how they have handled other areas of life where they started without knowing everything, received instruction and feedback, made adjustments, and matured over time. Much of the growth required to become a good husband or wife will happen within the marriage itself, so one of the most important qualities in a future spouse is the humility, willingness, and capacity to keep growing and maturing throughout the marriage.
