English term or phrase: marriage material
Third, we also can’t help people who don’t want it yet.
Some people know they want guidance eventually,
but they just don’t want it yet. In my work, these are people who say,
“I’m coming to church. I know I need to be there. Just not yet.”
Or we may hear, “I’m going to stop. I’m going to put it down.
I know I need to put it down, but not yet.” Or “I’m not going to marry him.
We’re just kicking it. We’re going to break up because
he isn’t marriage material. But I’m not through with him just yet.”

… no sentido de não ter "vocação" para casar… fala-se muito em ter "vocação" para algo no contexto religioso.
Pode ser que se adapte para PT-BR: "não tem vocação para casar/para o casamento".
