First of all, I think one needs to ask themselves if they are truly ready to get married. Do they feel like it is what God wants them to do right now? I'm feeling like there's somebody out there who's reading this who could really use in their own life what I'm about to say.
Being part of feeling ready to marry your future spouse is this. Are you ready to leave your family? No no, not leave your family in a bad way over bad circumstances. No, don't desert them or disown them. Of course not. God wouldn't want us to do that. I am saying are you ready to leave your parents and go live with your spouse. So, I guess you can say are you ready to leave your parents' control they have over you?
For those of you who are confused, let me explain and elaborate more of what I mean. I will use myself as an example. Okay from birth to probably my mid closer to late twenties, I was still living at my parents' home. I was still under my parents roof and needed to be obedient to them and follow their rules. I'm not saying I always did LOL. But, that's what I needed to do.
One rainy weekday late morning, I took a half day off work. Then, Joe and I went to City Hall. I chose to say a vow, in the eyes of God to Joe, of being his wife. From, that moment my life as I knew it was going to change.
I gave the title of my reading, "Time To Go." It really is what you are doing you are leaving being under total control of your parents to now having your husband being your Superior.

I hope now you guys get what I'm trying to say. We still need to show respect and honor to our father and mother. However, your husband is now the final say with things. See God is the top-rank and then it goes to the husband and then it goes to the wife. I forget that sometimes. But, seriously, things reminds me, speaking to other believers in Christ remind me, and sometimes my husband reminds me.
Oh, you better believe there been too many times I didn't agree with what Joe would choose to do with something. However, I needed to be quiet. Oh, how I forget that a lot. I needed to trust because God was speaking to my husband.
Oh there are going to be times when your parents are not going to be in disagreement with whatever your husband is deciding to do. And, things may get ugly. I don't know. All I can say is respectfully communicate with your parents and husband. Then remember, you made the decision for it being time to go. So that means it's time to trust the decisions of your husband. Follow him!
Matthew 19:5
And said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’
