In a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Nigerian singer Simi Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, expressed her support for couples living together before tying the knot. This revelation sheds light on her personal experience and perception of pre-marital cohabitation.

Simi emphasized the importance of cohabiting as a means for intending couples to gain a deeper understanding of each other before committing to marriage. Drawing from her own relationship with her husband, Adekunle Gold, she disclosed that they lived together prior to getting married, offering a real-life example to her perspective.

The singer underscored the value of cohabitation in revealing the multifaceted nature of a partner’s personality. She highlighted that living together exposes individuals to their partner’s various dispositions, beyond the facade often presented in formal social settings. Simi reasoned that observing a partner’s behavior during challenging times, such as when they are tired or unsettled, provides crucial insights that can profoundly impact the decision to spend a lifetime together.

Simi acknowledged that her stance might not align with conservative or religious viewpoints, recognizing that some may hold reservations about this approach. However, she reiterated her belief that cohabitation offers a window into the reality of a long-term commitment, beyond the initial stages of courtship.

While acknowledging that countless successful marriages have occurred without prior cohabitation, Simi maintained her support for the idea, stressing that it need not be a lengthy period but could greatly contribute to a couple’s understanding of each other.

This simi that her marriage isn't even up to 10years has been dishing one relationship/marriage advice or the other. She didn't even let the likes of Omoni oboli, Omotola or patron jokè silver that theirs have stood the test of time dish out the advice.

I used to think this Simi was a church girl. Lately, she has been trying so hard to sound woke.

Co-habiting doesn't guarantee a good marriage. The most important thing is to be highly observant which can make you easily know the type of person your partner is.

For your marriage to last, ask yourself what you cannot stand in a partner. Can you stand a dirty, talkative or disrespectful partner? These are traits that are easily identifiable without having to live with someone.

People are having marital problems because they tend to overlook the bad habits of their partners before marriage hoping they will change or they can manage when they eventually get married. But it gets to that point where they can no longer cope and problems start to set in.

DivinegiftofGod:
Because some people managed to escape the wrath of God after misbehaving before marriage they now want to come and be suggesting and advising rubbish.

That you were lucky to cohabit with a man before marriage and he ended up marrying you doesn't mean you did the right thing and should not make it a standard for others. What worked for you may not work for others.

To know each other better
