5 + Reasons You Are Not Married Yet Pt. 1

J. Calvin Tibbs Season 1 Episode 1

Have you considered that one of the reasons you are not married yet is because It’s not time. A wise man once wrote, there is a time and a season for everything under the sun... and  that includes a time for you to get married. And if it's not time yet, there are some things you could be working on.

Maturity 
is an important part of marriage preparation.  Dr. Edwin Louise Cole wrote that maturity does not come with age but with the acceptance of responsibility.  Before saying I Do, maturity must exist in a strong way. So, this podcast focuses on maturity in 3 areas.

1.  Maturity of the Soul
2.  Financial Maturity
3.  Emotional Maturity

In the Maturity of the Soul section, we discuss how the mind works, which includes a discussion about the process of thinking. It's not a deep dive, but it provides necessary tips you can start using today. In another section, we explore how the eyes connect with vision. Put plainly, we help you probe internally to see how you see the world and your role in it? The final part of this section checks your taste buds, not the ones in your mouth, the kind that determines if your 'will' will engage long enough to see if maturity tastes good enough to keep chewing on it.  
                  
Section 2 addresses Financial Literacy as part of preparing for marriage. This type of   Maturity checks your awareness to see if "Getting it Now" overrides your better judgment. Then, we talk about your financial game plan. You don't need to be a guru in the financial arena, but you do want to have an idea of what is important which leads to the last point under Financial Maturity. Before concluding this maturity type, we ask the following question. What does your spending say about you? 

 The Emotional  Maturity (EQ) section is last of the Reasons You Are Not Married Yet, and for good reason. Your Emotional Quotient (EQ), not your Intelligence Quotient (IQ), runs everyones internal processes and is the invisible force behind much of what people do.   What sets you off, routinely? Do you ever move out of victimhood if or when you find yourself there?   Can you outperform your emotions? These questions connect Emotional Maturity to your behavior and contribute to why it may not be time for you to be married yet.
