Good morning gorgeous. How are you doing this morning? I hope you're doing

wonderful. Welcome to the Dr. Daph show. I'm your host Dr. Michelle Daph and I'm so happy that you're here

with me today as we talk today about preparing for marriage and how you know that you're actually ready to be married.

You're actually ready to be someone's wife.

We're going to talk today about 10 different ways that you can know you're in that space and you're ready to be married.

There are more than 10 ways to know and there are more than 10 things to think about, but these are really vital ones that I think will really help position your mind to know.

Sometimes we feel like we feel ready but we're not actually ready and it's not until we

consider some of these hard truths that are able to be honest with ourselves that

we're able to say okay we are or we need a little bit more

time we need a little bit more work.

So it's going to take a lot of self-reflection and it's going to also take you understanding that you can be ready.

There will be a time where you are ready.

It's only a matter of time.

When it comes to the topic of singleness, unfortunately, this world

paints such a negative view on being single. And being single is looked at like there's

something wrong with you, like you're not good enough for someone to want you.

And even if we don't necessarily want to really, really get married, the stigma that comes

with being single feels so much worse.

So it's almost like this way of escaping that negative stigma, that stereotype that you're an unwanted woman.

So that ends up being your motivation to get married and it's very understandable

no one wants to be looked at like we're damaged goods or we're less than we're not good enough for a man.

No one wants to feel that.
