Will He Marry Me Or “I Just Dey Whine Myself?”

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Clarity does not hide.

A man who intends marriage does not build ambiguity. If months pass without direction, definition, or movement toward commitment, confusion is already your answer.

“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”
— Proverbs 4:18

Consistency reveals intention.

Words promise. Patterns prove. Does he introduce you with certainty? Does he involve you in long-term plans? Does he move progressively toward family engagement, accountability, and structure? Stagnation signals hesitation.

Time without trajectory is delay by design.

Time alone does not equal seriousness. Progress does. A relationship that circles without advancing toward covenant is comfort, not commitment.

Excuses expose unreadiness.

“I’m not ready yet.” “Let’s just enjoy what we have.” “Why rush?” If preparation is not actively happening—financial planning, spiritual growth, family integration—delay becomes avoidance.

Secrecy contradicts seriousness.

If you are hidden, undefined, or unofficial, marriage is not being prepared. Covenant moves toward visibility and accountability.

Investment predicts permanence.

A man invests where he intends to stay. Emotional, spiritual, financial, and social investment precede proposal. Minimal effort reveals minimal intent.

Comfort can disguise complacency.

Benefits without boundaries remove urgency. When a man receives partnership privileges without covenant responsibility, motivation to formalize decreases.

Silence is also communication.

Avoidance of future conversations is not neutrality. It is decision postponed. Prolonged postponement becomes rejection in slow motion.

Discernment requires courage.

Ask directly. Observe response. A man serious about marriage does not fear clarity. He welcomes it.

Do not confuse attachment with assignment.

Loving him does not obligate him. Hoping does not create intention. Covenant requires mutual resolve.

If he sees a future, he builds toward it. If he does not build, he is not preparing.

Do not romanticize uncertainty. Clarity is kindness. Ambiguity is answer enough.
