5 Signs You’re Ready for Marriage (Christian Relationship Guide)

By Coach Davie | Davecha Moments

Are you ready for marriage? That’s a big question many couples ask themselves. The truth is, marriage is one of the most significant commitments you’ll ever make. It’s a covenant designed by God—not something to rush into because of pressure, age, or loneliness.

If you want a marriage that thrives, not just survives, you must prepare well. Today, let’s talk about 5 clear signs your relationship is ready for marriage based on biblical principles and practical wisdom.

1. You’ve Built a Solid Foundation for Marriage

Every strong house stands on a strong foundation—and so does a healthy relationship. If your relationship is built on physical attraction alone, it won’t last. A solid foundation includes:
✔ Open Communication: You can talk honestly without fear.
✔ Mutual Respect: You value each other’s uniqueness.
✔ Shared Values: You agree on faith, family, and life purpose.

Premarital Tip: If you can’t be completely transparent about your dreams, fears, and struggles now, marriage won’t make it easier.

Bible Insight: Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”

SEO Keywords in Use: healthy relationship foundation, signs of a strong relationship, Christian premarital advice.

2. You Handle Conflict Maturely

Conflict is inevitable, even in the best relationships. The question is: Do you fight fair, or do you fight to hurt? A couple ready for marriage knows how to resolve disagreements with grace and understanding.

✔ You don’t use silent treatment, manipulation, or threats.
✔ You seek solutions, not revenge.
✔ You argue to understand, not to win.

Relationship Readiness Tip: Marriage magnifies issues. If you cannot resolve conflicts now, marriage will not fix them.

Bible Insight: Proverbs 19:11 – “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.”

SEO Keywords in Use: conflict resolution in relationships, Christian relationship counseling, marriage readiness.

3. Financial Stability and Shared Goals

Money problems are one of the top reasons for divorce. If you want a lasting marriage, discuss finances before saying ‘I do’:
✔ Do we have debts?
✔ What are our future financial goals—home, children, investments?
✔ Who handles the budget?

A couple ready for marriage talks about money without tension and works as a team.

Bible Insight: Luke 14:28 – “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost…?”

SEO Keywords in Use: financial readiness for marriage, premarital financial planning, Christian money tips for couples.

4. Emotional Intimacy and Shared Core Values

Physical attraction fades, but emotional intimacy and shared values keep love strong. Are you comfortable sharing your fears, dreams, and doubts? Do you feel understood and supported?

Ask yourselves:
✔ Do we share the same faith and moral values?
✔ How do we view family and parenting?
✔ Do our life purposes align?

Bible Insight: Amos 3:3 – “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?”

SEO Keywords in Use: emotional intimacy in marriage, shared values in relationships, Christian marriage counseling.

5. You’re Both Ready to Take the Next Step Together

Marriage is a joint decision, not a forced one. If both of you feel peace and excitement about the future, that’s a green flag. But don’t just follow feelings—seek wisdom.

✔ Attend premarital counseling.
✔ Seek mentorship and godly advice.
✔ Pray together for confirmation.

Bible Insight: Proverbs 15:22 – “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”

SEO Keywords in Use: premarital counseling tips, signs you’re ready to get married, Christian marriage preparation.

Final Thoughts: Are You Ready for Marriage?

Marriage is not just about a wedding day—it’s a lifetime covenant. If you tick these boxes, you’re on the right track. If not, don’t panic; take time to build. It’s better to wait long than to marry wrong!

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
