Although her desire to get married started to emerge, Syifa Hadju admitted that she was not mentally ready back then. She realized that marriage is a serious step that requires thorough preparation.

"So it was like, oh yeah, I think I want to get married. But actually, when I think about it now, back then I really wasn't mentally ready, you know, because marriage is something serious, so I felt like God hadn't opened the way for me to go there. Because He knows better that at that time I really wasn't ready," she continued.

6. A Woman's Self-Worth

Syifa Hadju also revealed that her mother's upbringing taught her about a woman's self-worth. Including, not depending on anyone. Moreover, her mother successfully raised her and her younger sibling well even while being a single parent. Her mother's strong guidance made her feel capable of standing on her own.

"Because my mom really educated me to never depend on anyone, she raised my younger sibling and me while working, so I didn't feel the need to have a male figure in my life at first, like, 'oh yeah, I think I can work on my own and earn money for my mom and my sibling,' so at that time," said Syifa Hadju.

7. Until Finally There is a Desire to Build a Family

With that life experience, Syifa Hadju is now starting to think about building a family. Through the process of learning and experience, she begins to understand the meaning of a healthy relationship and the desire to have her own family. Moreover, her views on marriage have started to change since meeting her stepfather.

"When I finally met my current dad, it was like, oh, it turns out it's nice to have someone. It's nicer, and I didn't have, at first, any examples of what a good relationship is like, so maybe that wasn't my main concern. So eventually, I just kept learning and learning until 'oh yeah, I think I want to get married and build a family,'" she concluded.
