At 35, I Thought I Had Married Late—Now I Know Better

At 35, I thought I had married late, but looking back, I can only thank God for His perfect timing. This heartfelt testimony is a reminder that what truly matters is not when you marry, but marrying peace of mind and trusting God's plan for your life.

There Is No Register for Who Marries Early or Late.

When I got married at 35, I felt like I had married “late.” I found myself somewhere between gratitude and excitement. The joy was there, but it wasn't as overwhelming as I had imagined it would be.

Looking back on my journey so far, however, my heart is filled with gratitude. I thank God for how beautifully everything has unfolded. He blessed me with children without stress and gave me a man who is deeply family-oriented. Honestly, I never imagined I would be loved and treated like a queen.

He gives me peace of mind. He loves dancing and never feels shy when I dance in church. There was a time I was admitted to the hospital, and I desperately wanted to praise God, but I couldn't. I said to him, “Babe, dance and praise God for me,” and he did it so beautifully—just the way I would have.

God blessed me with a man I don't have to drag to serve Him. He serves God willingly. He is a prayer warrior and truly the spiritual leader of our home.

He supports me wholeheartedly. He always says, “Babe, if you want to be president, I've got your back.”

When I kept procrastinating or felt afraid to start my skincare brand, he encouraged me, pushed me forward, and reminded me that I simply had to start somewhere.

There's so much more I could say, but I'll stop here.

I simply want to encourage anyone who feels like they are “late.” There is no register for who marries early or late. Life is not a competition, and God's plans for each person are different.

What matters most is marrying peace of mind.

God's timing is always the best.

Today, as we celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary, I can boldly say: God did it! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
