How badly do you want to be married? I don't know that and you don't have to tell me. But, most men that I know of, when they get ready to be married, it is within 2-5 months after they make that decision that they meet their fiancee, soon to be their wife...

Some women, who are not of the Spirit, prey on nice guys like you. May be you are able to handle it, I dunno. And without going into the sordid details of your past situations, it does seem that your past girlfriends are not as altruistic as you desired them to be. That means either they weren't that way to begin with or you ain't picking the right ones or both... Which essentially means that you MUST have your heart directed by God moreso now if you desire a wife... These women are temptuous to say the least... If it is too perfect, stand back and rethink...

So, in that case, you are really gonna haveta know yourself and why your past relationships failed and the part you place into them before God can present your future wife into your life. I am not saying you are not ready, because you are... I am saying that you might get a bit entrenched in the searching and the acquisition, rather than the sustenance of the marriage... Like you might overlook some personal facts about yourself or her that you might be unable to deal with after the marriage...

And yeah, it is easy to walk away... And a strong faith in God will not stop you... But making the "COVENANT" before God, your wife and yourself, will make you rethink your position in leaving...

I am basically saying, the more expensive the wedding, the quicker the divorce...

And Secret Marriage Vows last forever...
