I think it's also important to acknowledge that you never know what is going on in the homes and hearts of all these people you admire. Whether it be a married couple or a man you desire, they can be like night and day when they are out of your sight. The situations they are dealing with could be worse than anything you could have ever imagined. Would you just throw yourself on that person if you knew that?

Also, marriage is work. It is a serious committment and a full time job. I LOVE being married and I can honestly say that our relationship is great, but with marriage, you have both good and bad days. I mean, it's takes a lot of effort on BOTH parts to make it work.

People really underestimate the trials that marriage can put you through. Your relationship will be tested like never before. It takes some true strength to have a lasting marriage. My husband and I have been through A LOT. My friends always tell me how they wish they were married like me, but I know that none of them could have handled the things we've been through.

So, please be patient ladies. I cannot stress it enough. When the Lord says that you are ready, nothing will keep you from your prince. But you don't have to go around trying to make every frog you meet your prince in the meanwhile.
