How do you know if God is preparing you for marriage?

I’m only asking other religious people.

Before I met my fiancé, one of the most important things God did was teach me how to be content with being single. I spent the majority of my 20s longing to be married, and feeling bitter that it wasn’t happening. I was silently jealous of my friends who I watched all getting married and have children, and many of them are younger than me.
There were times I was crying and yelling at God wondering why everyone else was being blessed with marriage and I wasn’t. I wondered if I had done something that made me undeserving or if God just loved me less. It felt like everyone was given the answer to a great secret and I was being left out. Marriage became this thing that was just too far out of reach and too wonderful for someone like me to have.

God had to teach me that being single is as much a blessing as being married, and sometimes more so. There were plenty of relationships in my life that failed. Even though none of the men I dated were bad, the relationships themselves were not good. I learned to pray that if a relationship was not good that God would make it obvious, so it could come to an end.
I had to learn that if I was going to have a husband at all, and if I wanted that husband to be chosen by God, I had to be patient. God is not a one-sided god, He loves my future husband just as much as He loves me. So He needs to be free to prepare him for marriage too.
