Well I don't think there's a high rise of widows generally in Nigeria... If you're talking about a particular state, then I may agree, maybe 70 percent, because it wouldn't be in the whole state, it may just be happening in random pockets across the state especially in rural areas where maybe health care and ignorance constantly don't see eye to eye.

A lot of factors come into play from financial to religious differences. from ethnic background to family preferences.

Besides, should there be a time frame?

it depends on both parties. for some ladies, finding the right guy can be hard, and we want to wait for the right age to marry... while the guys have to be settled down financially and must meet the right woman to take down the aisle. some relationships may last for three years, some six, some even 8yrs and they are ready to marry. a guy might be ready to marry, but his gf ain't ready yet, and vice versa. sometimes both are ready, but the man is not yet stable financially.

marriage is not a rush rush thing, its something u settle down and discuss with Ur partner.. coz this is a lifetime commitment. you guys are coming together to be one smiley but from my observations, a relationship that lasts for three or more years before diving into marriage lasts longer than a marriage that was rushed into with just one year or lesser relationships.

but then again, u might get dissappointed in a three years relationship, coz the Ur partner can leave u for someone else after all these years sad I wouldn't want that to happen to me or anyone else. that's why I have more than one bf, so that if one dissapoints me, I got backups wink wink (okay, I'm kidding. I'm a faithful lover grin )
I can see it in ur eyes. gurls between the ages of 18 to 24 can be very promiscous.

As long as it takes d guy to reach dat state of mind where,

1. His idea of chilling is being home wit d wife and possibly kids bonding and not with his niggis at some club drinking alcohol and eying "hot" babes.

2. His babe starts looking beautiful to him and not hot

3. A bawling child prompts him to wanna pet and cajole d child instead of bolting away from d vicinity.

4. Etc

5. Etc
Ur points just made my night...God bless u

Relationship can last as long as possible before marriage until both parties are able to ask the question ™what do you want in this relationship?™ the answer determines when the marriage will follow. The marriage comes faster when there is no sex during the courtship

Hi everyone?
I have come across people who met their spouse and under two weeks they were pulling marriage strings, and i've seen others who after like 6 years they finally tied the not. From experience i don't think a working man should have a steady relationship that will last for more than say 8months, because before then you are either preparing for marriage (searching for someone to settle down with), and also searching for the right partner (and not screwing around with every babe). So what do you guys think should be the appropriate length of courtship?
Tell u wat,dia is no tym limit.Just luk out 4 the follwn characters b4 u go ahead ,1,A God fearn person, 2.Hw homely is she? 3.Unassuming, 4.Accommodating? 5.Have it in mind dat no human is perfect,so b ready 2 accommodate alot of 'shit' urself,den be prayerful, remain blessed.
