💍 “ARE YOU READY?”
Ready doesn’t mean perfect.
It doesn’t mean you have all the answers or
that life is neatly packaged with a bow. Ready
means you’re willing. Willing to show up.
Willing to forgive. Willing to communicate
even when you’re tired, love even when it’s
hard, and serve when it’s not convenient. It
means you’ve done the soul work, asking
yourself what kind of partner you want to be,
not just what kind you want to have.
If the answers aren’t perfect, that’s okay.
Marriage isn’t a destination; it’s a
discipleship journey. You will grow into it,
together. But readiness starts with being
honest, not just excited. Brave, not just in
love. Grounded, not just glowing.
So before the aisle, before the altar, before
the last-minute tweaks and timelines, take
a moment. Breathe. Reflect.
Because when you’re truly ready, you don’t
just say “I do.” You mean it with your whole
being.
The Real Question Every Bride (and Groom) Should Ask Before Saying ‘I Do’
You’ve picked the date, the dress, the flowers. You’ve pinned down the color palette
and maybe even the perfect playlist. But there’s one question that no checklist can
answer for you: Are you ready?
This isn’t about being ready for a party. It’s about being ready for a promise.
Getting married isn’t just about beautiful photos, sparkly rings, or planning a
stunning event. It’s about stepping into a covenant—one that will stretch you, bless
you, grow you, and sometimes break you open in ways you didn’t expect. It's about
becoming a team, one flesh, a safe place for each other’s healing and hopes.
Ask yourself:
Can I hold space for both joy and
disappointment?
Do I know how to express love and ask
for what I need?
Have I grieved my past, so I don’t bleed
it into our future?
Do I trust this person not just with my
heart, but with my faith, my fears, and
my forever?
And then ask your partner:
How do we navigate conflict?
How do we pray together, plan
together, dream together?
What does commitment look like to
you on ordinary days, not just the big
ones?
