Could it be that this immaturity idea is getting in my head?

A Question from one of my bloggers.
Random Angie:

If that's not immature, I don't know what is!

" I also have a question in regards to when would you consider someone is ready for marriage? I'm 23 and at times I think I might be too immature for it still. I grew up an over protected child but I know I still have a lot of learning to do. And The Holy Spirit is helping me grow day by day.
Even my parents say I don't act my age. I like to laugh and joke. That's just my personality.
Yet not with my spiritually. They see the seriousness in that. My salvation is my priority.

You mentioned you and your sister were only 12 when you both began praying for your love life.
Is there a certain guide to know you are ready?
I do want to find that man that God chose for me but at times I think I might have some growing to do.
I guess just the results of being so overprotected growing up. I am praying to God to help me be more independent but nonetheless I want to hear from you."

Immature!

Hello Random Angie and thanks for the question.
First let me start of by saying; Marriage takes hard work.
I don't think you could ever be perfectly ready enough for marriage. But yes, there are steps you can take to help you in the process. It depends in what country you are in, but here in Texas, U.S.A they have what is called 'Marriage course' for those who are married and for those who want to prepare for marriage. Also there is the book "Bullet proof marriage" coming out soon by Bp. Renato and Mrs. Cristiane Cardoso. This is a must read whether you are married or not. It will help prepare you for the work ahead.....

Now, lets talk about your immaturity!
Angie, I honestly believe that for you to become mature, you have to be put in a situation that will make you become mature.
Maturity can not be learned or practiced. It comes with life's experiences, it comes with responsibilities.
Time and time again, my sister and I were constantly being called immature. And this is even after we got married, because we too grew up overprotected and spoiled rotten. I remember trying so hard not to be immature and I was still immature in peoples eyes. Until I said to myself, you know what, I'm not going to be worried about what people say. I am going to do my part and have my relationship with God, and as time goes by, God will mold me.

That's exactly what happened!

Maturity comes with you having responsibilities. And as life goes by you get more and more mature. But, it would help if you take a long hard look at yourself and see what are things you can change in you to make you more of God. Like if you notice people are always talking about how loud you laugh. Then that's something you can change due to the fact that that's not being discreet as the bible mentions we must be. Ask yourself, what are responsibilities you can take and go after so you can be able to grow in maturity?

Yes.....I do think you are over thinking this maturity thing
Maturity comes through experiences Angie.
How are you going to become mature, if you don't get to learn any experiences of your own in life ??? Experiences such as marriage!

Again, Thanks for the awesome question
