When you’re dating for marriage, there are a few different rules you have to follow. You should be intentional in your actions and choices.
You don’t want to be the kind of lady that chills out in the girlfriend zone for years even though you desire to get married. Here’s how to go from girlfriend to wife in only a few weeks.
Make wises choices
This journey starts from the very beginning. You have to ensure you date someone who’s ready for commitment and everything about him says so. He’s at a stable point in his life, he’s mature, confident and he is also looking to settle down. You cannot date a rogue boy and expect a proposal simply because you feel you can ‘change him.’ Find what you want from the very beginning.
Get your message across but don’t push it
Your man should know you want to get married someday and that that’s where you want the relationship to lead to. All this takes is simple communication. To go from girlfriend to wife, both partners must know exactly where the relationship is going and must agree on that. But don’t push the matter. You don’t have to force someone who’s reluctant. Which brings us to the next step.
Know when it’s time to move on
The truth is a man who really wants to marry you will do so without you beating him down. So, have a timeline in your head and keep to it. If after the timeline, he hasn’t proposed, simply sit him down and tell him you believe you both have different needs. At this point, walk away with your dignity intact. Don’t be afraid to leave a relationship that isn’t giving you want you need.
Or hey, you may choose to take matters into your own hands and propose to him instead if you want to go from girlfriend to wife. Before you do that, make sure you read this.
