Now I'm not going to define revelation here. How you communicate with your God is your business, and only you can answer whether you have open communication with Him. If you do not feel you have that strong of a relationship with Him, then work harder at it. He is just right there. He is listening. He wants to help us and answer our questions and give us comfort. It is not Him who needs to come to us, we need to learn how to listen.
In my own life, I will testify to you that this is real. It is how I met and married my wife. We didn't date, and truth be told I think our courtship (if you want to call it that) lasted only a couple hours. And are we compatible and happy? With my own wisdom and understanding, I could not have made a better choice. I thank my Father every day for blessing me so beyond what I think I am worthy of.
In comparison to God's plan, courtship and dating are torture. In my life, could I have waited to get married, and gotten to know my wife better beforehand? Sure, but what's the point of doing so? We both knew the Lord's will, and we both wanted to move forward. All a courtship would have done at that point would have been to detract from the experience, to allow negative influences to have crept into our lives and undone, to a degree, the Lord's work.
My advise to you is to not be satisfied with the outward appearances, or with your own understanding, or with the pressures around you. Don't settle for the physical desires and lusts, they will sell you short. Turn to God and trust Him. He loves you more than you know. He wants you to be happy, and happiness is His specialty. If you want to get married right, trust the One who knows. And don't let others tell you that it isn't practical and isn't realistic.
