“What are the most important things a young man should do to prepare for marriage someday?” I’m convinced that if young men will do the following every thing man needs to know before marriage, they will be prepared for marriage, fatherhood, and all aspects of life.
If you’re single, please take these to heart. The decisions you’re making today are either creating future opportunities or removing future opportunities. Invest into your future family by implementing the right habits and eliminating unhealthy habits. You’re creating a foundation for your legacy right now, so make the most of this time.
1. Develop a Strong Work Ethic
Men often fail in marriage (and in life) simply because they don’t know how to work hard. They give up the moment something becomes difficult. We live in a generation where his brand of manhood might seem antiquated, but I believe we have a lot to learn from his approach, because there are many ways that we as modern men are missing the mark.
I’m not saying we all have to fit into a narrow definition of masculinity or all be able to handle power tools. What I am saying is that we need to recapture that sense of hard work which he developed as a young boy and it shaped all he did later in life. Don’t look for handouts. Look for way to get your hands dirty and calloused doing honest, hard work. It will serve you well all your life and make you a better husband and father someday.
2. Seek responsibility instead of running from it
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
3. Develop a Disciplined Financial Plan
One of the best things you can do for yourself and your future family is to develop a financial plan NOW. There are some great and easy resources to help you get started at DaveRamsey.com. Work to spend less than you make, save some money in an emergency fund, relentlessly eliminate debt, trust God with your tithe and practice generosity. Once you’ve done those things, start saving for a down payment on a house and other big, longterm plans. Your future wife will thank you!
4. Prioritize Sexual Purity (both mentally and physically)
You certainly don’t need me to tell you that we live in an age of sexual temptation and exploitation like no other time in history.
Protect the honor and purity of any young woman you might be dating. We can’t compromise here, guys. Never trade temporary pleasure for permanent regret.
5. Use your singleness as an opportunity for Service; not for Selfishness
If you’re not careful, being single can make you selfish. It’s easy to get set in your own ways and (without even meaning to) start feeling like life revolves around you. Serving is the antidote to selfishness. Nothing will sabotage a marriage faster than selfishness, so if you really want to be a great husband and dad someday, don’t wait until you’re married to start thinking about other people besides yourself. Look for opportunities to serve.
6. Learn how to be a gentleman
Our world has become so confused about what a “real man” looks like. The idealized man is often very promiscuous, chauvinistic, misogynistic, reckless and selfish. If you want to be a great husband someday, you’ve got to have the courage to be countercultural. You need to learn how to treat a woman like a lady and like a sister .
