Yes, don't be in a hurry and make the same mistake as me. After my 1st marriage had ended in divorce, I rushed too soon to be married again. My 2nd wife gave me lots of attention and asked many times that we could be married. So I set the date and we were married. Was a long distance romance so I did not know what she was hiding from me when we were apart. What she was hiding was that she was a Christian and not a believer. After 9 years of patiently trying to see fruit and growth in her Christian walk, she decided that I was not worthy of her love any longer and decided to have a couple affairs. One of them to a man 30 years younger. When he broke off the relationship, she became mentally abusive to me. I began to see more and more that we were unequally yoked. In counselling to save the marriage, she revealed that she never really loved me and that her love for me was a lie! A year later, divorce was granted by the courts.
Since then I refuse to be involved in a long distance relationship and I refuse to lower standards just to have a girlfriend. Enjoy the relationship and engagement period. No need in these times to hurry to marry.
