Well, you can't go wrong, if you are saved, by claiming James 1, praying for wisdom and believing you have it. Haste is not encouraged in the Bible, nor slouth; diligence is encouraged (Proverbs).
As to a wife, I take it that 1 Thes 4 gives some guidance: You acquire your own vessel (wife) not in the passion of lust; check it out.
1 Cor 7:2 gives us the command that every man should have his own wife, lest fornication result. 2 exceptions are given: 1) one has no sexual itch (burning) but has the spiritual gift of celebacy -- no day-dreaming about women;
2) one is in or about to enter severe persecution in the Church.
Other than that, one seeks to obey 1 Cor 7:2. Sloth would be contrary to God's will here as would haste. Now how can you do diligence?
