Due diligence is mostly centered on the person you want to have as a spouse and not just the family.
Toks pls due on his or her family is more important o.
You can manage a bad spouse, but you can't manage bad in laws. Talking from experience

Of course one shouldn't suffer in marriage for the sake of the children but the innocent lives are entitled to a happy and complete home. So why not take your time to set things right before bringing them in.

Sure anything can happen in marriage but this is where the love and friendship the marriage was built on plays its role. How do you build such friendship / love your proposed period of time?

Like I stated earlier, Marriage is more than cohabiting! smiley

I have lost friends who tend to be myopic as regards my articles. ..they juxtapose my realistic threads to who I am and I'm sorry I can't help them on that.

I'm a realist and I dont write things to favor the way they ought to be rather I write stuffs the way they are.

I hate divorce but what if I marry today and the lady decides to divorce me against all odds would you blame me for that? does it not take two to tango?

People have blamed Chris oyakhilome for his wife's decision to divorce him and I keep wondering how people see things.

If you like preach about marital chastity but that does not change the fact that people leave their marriage daily and if a lady is too careful about getting married because she hates divorce then she should rather remain single for life cos shits happen in marriage even if you the lady is an angel.

My point is simple

Take the risk and dare the consequence rather than being careful forever which is never a guaranty of good marriage.

the writer just nail it, sincerely speaking I know a man who dated her wife for just one month before taking her to the alter, and I can boldly tell you that they will be celebrating their 40years of living together as one family.

there were challenges and there were rough edges but they both understand that the force that bind them together is way stronger than the force that try to pull them apart.

in most occasion ladies are always at the receiving end in this so called long time courtship, because you cant date today's men for two months without them making an attempt to distort the centre of gravity and once they achieve this, marrying the lady becomes story for the gods, not all men do this anyway.

they moment a lady has tested rods with different length and girth, the final end user who takes her to the alter should be ready for the real clash of the titans.

I'm not judging anyone for any reason I'm only advising anyone who care to listen that why dating a man for 3years when you can do your background check in 3 months and take the risk, marriage is never a roller coaster there will be some challenges but it is better to take the risk than remaining single and desperate.

For me two questions is this person adding value to my life. Can I handle my children sharing the same personality etc

This helped me stay away from deep end
not just adding value to your life but to the the family.

You also have to ask yourself this question, what have I brought into this family to make it better?

Courtship / dating opens your eyes to some things in your partner.Courtship is when you how your level of compatibility.

Lol...@emboldened does not always work like that. I can tell you that the man or a woman in a Courtship is totally different from a man or woman in marriage. In other words, you'll never know a man or woman thru dating. You'll never know if you're compatible. Marriage is a risk, you either take it or leave it.

Marriage is a serious thing one needs to be careful about that, no doubt. But claiming dating makes you know your level of compatibility is a farce. You and i both know what goes around is men and women sampling each other all in the name of Courtship and trying to know each other.

When they're done with that relationship, they jump to another relationship again, sampling each other and the cycle continues.

Its very easy in the mouth saying it. Choosing a life patner is a process a lady shiuld apply carefulness to.
don't make it look as if a girl should marry anyone she sees, desperations sometimes lead to regrets.

One can always leave if the heat is too much.

The above is the premise on which you made the empty, misleading original post. Stop misleading people. Marriage is serious business, and divorce always leaves scars, especially when there are children.

A wise man sees evil and HIDES from it. No, he doesn't enter on the premise that he can always run away "if the heat is too much". He what? He HIDES! #scripture #notopentoargument#immutable.

Good morning.

...You can't be too careful or careless when it comes to your choice of spouse because there is no good or bad choice but what we have is "YOUR CHOICE". Good people can turn very bad and a great courtship is no guaranty of a great marriage so take the risk and stop wasting your time in the name of "being careful"

So if you are a man or lady who is really interested in getting married then read this.


those that are ready to settle down

1.For the guys :

Ask yourself some vital questions about the type of woman you want,her tribe,physical attributes as well as inherent attributes and so on and don't just try out every lady in skirt.

Understand that whatever pleases your eyes will inadvertently please your soul so go for a lady that catches your fancy physically, ask her some basic questions about her persona,do a quick background check on her and if you are ok with your findings just take the risk as long as you can feed yourself and one more person and also have a place of your own.



Remember that you can never know a woman but you can only try to understand her gradually only when you start living together.

And remember that though GOD hates divorce,there is always an option of walking away from the marriage if needs be.



If only you are ready to settle down

2.For the ladies:

Save your self the bull poo of dating and courtship...it's a total waste of time cos it's no guaranty of a happy union.

Except you are a teenager or in your adolescent when dating is mostly just for the fun of it,
If you are really interested in a purposeful affair then you don't need to court any guy for more than a year.


If you see a guy you have strong desire for and he says he wants you,...do a quick background check on him and if you are ok with your findings..take that risk and go for it...

Stop complicating your life about doing an expensive wedding by fire by force...you can always do that latter but if the money is available then go ahead with the wedding of your dreams

I have seen many guys and ladies despite their over Sabi and meticulous courtship still break up with their spouse so why fool yourself.

If you like continue to waste your time looking for the ideal man and fooling yourself in the name of courtship while actually getting used by the guy.



My take.

OP didn't say you shouldn't court at all; neither did he say that if you're not ready for marriage, you should accept any flies that knock on your door.
When you feel inclined that you want to settle down, you gotta take a risk! It's not a gamble but a lifetime journey. Pray over it, and God will guard your mental powers to make the right decision

Re: The simplicity of getting married. by Edijana2015(m): 7:42am On Mar 17, 2017
Marriage is an act of fate. Discuss your differences, compromise the once you can, both parties should work on themselves and lastly allow nature to take its course.

You only have have control over one person , which is yourself, why worry yourself over things you don't have control over?

And the children? Do you know who bears the consequences of divorce? The children. Moreover for how long will you continue to walk out?
Nice points!
Although, everyone's entitled to his or her own personal opinion, but I'm curious to question toks2008, on what he based his judgment on.
Maybe he still feels like marriage is a form of dating which you can back in and out as often as you wish. Besides, toks2008, are you married?

Aha! I withdraw my innuendo. A prior marriage and divorce are sufficient qualifications to write on the topic.

In Africa, especially in the subsaharan region, marriage isn't just the union of one man and one woman. It's the combination of communities, tribes and clans. You know the saying that 'it takes a village to raise a child'. When that child is to wed, every foster parent will seek to participate...
The western approach is definitely simpler and cheaper.

It is easy to marshal out words than practicing it.
marriage should not be Rush because it is an everlasting Union. coming to infer or put up an idea of aged people to embrace it, to some extent is wrong. marriage should be matured despite the age of people in it.some people believed in divorce as an option while others do not see it like that,.
Most of Family Troubles today was caused because of not being patients enough before you realise it the MAN will quit and marries more and the woman will as well. so my advice Is even if it will take you a reasonable time to think, plan And pray so be it.
