Drawing from the examples she witnessed while growing up, where approximately 80% of women who married early ended up divorcing, McBrown expressed her desire to avoid such pitfalls.

During an Instagram live session, McBrown explained, "I planned to get married after 35 years because I had a lot of family friends that got married early but at age 30, they had divorced. 80 percent of the people who got married while I was growing up are divorced. Some have 2, or 3 kids while being separated from their partners and so on. If you asked the women what happened, you’d realize that they had wished they were not married."

She highlighted additional reasons for delaying marriage, including achieving financial independence, establishing a stable career, and making informed life choices. McBrown emphasized her desire to have a career, earn a monthly salary, and structure her life before entering into marriage.

“I’ve always wanted to have a career, earn some monthly salary, and structure my life on a good path before getting married. So, to those who are relying on men to take care of their every need after marriage, you will always find yourself crying. Also, after 35 years, I had my first house, and I had my career on the right path. Also at age 35, I don’t think I will find myself making mistakes that I will be crying and regretting,” she added.

McBrown also emphasized that marriage should not be viewed as a means to an end but rather as a beautiful part of life.

She underscored the significance of seeking God first, prioritizing salvation before the institution of marriage.

“Marriage is beautiful and all, it serves as the God-ordained means of procreation but we can’t take that to heaven. God said we should seek first the kingdom of God. So, we need to work on our salvation first before marriage,” she stated.
