And in your preparation to be a wife, I hope you realise this season was never empty, it was intentional. Every quiet morning, every time you chose discipline over distraction, every moment you stayed in your own world instead of seeking attention...it's all shaping you. You're not just passing time, you're becoming the kind of woman who can actually sustain something sacred when it arrives. Because marriage isn't just love, it's steadiness. It's patience. It's loyalty protected from the external world. It's knowing how to hold your composure when things aren't perfect. And that kind of woman isn't built overnight. She's built in the unseen. In the routines no one claps for. In the choices no one even knows you made. The world might look at you and think nothing's happening, but everything is. You're learning how to be peace. How to protect what's yours through prayer. How to stand beside a man properly, not just when it's easy, but when life applies pressure. It's who you are if he ever loses everything. All of that is being refined through you. So no, you're not waiting. You're preparing. And when it finally comes, it won't feel rushed or chaotic. It'll feel right. It'll feel calm. It'll feel like something that was always meant for you... because you actually became the woman who could hold it. And God will guide you the entire way.
