Knowing that there is a barrier of separation between us made me think seriously about my willingness to cross the line from brother/sister in Christ to husband/wife until death do us part. For me, a bit of a slow processor, this evaluating took about a year. After that, when I was convinced that life with her would be better than life without her, I did not delay getting a ring. That’s what you want—a season of real evaluation that leads to a solid conclusion: either we are a good partnership or we are not.
