I have been seeing a lot of people in marriage and what they pass through, some will look good and happy in the public but they are sad inside, some will look rich but they are just packaging, some will look healthy but hungry in the inside, some will be rich before the marriage but start getting poorer after the marriage. All these negative sides are because some marry the wrong person, some marry because of money, some marry because his or her mates or friends are all getting married, some marry for fame, some marry because she is beautiful or handsome, some marry because they did not plan or organise themselves well.

Am not saying its not good to marry, as a matter of fact, its one of the sweetest things on earth to get married but to the right person and at the right time.

Having seen some things in the lives of those who are married, my opinion, believe and view towards marriage is.....

Its better to marry late and marry the right person and live long and happy than to marry early and marry the wrong person and die early or young or live sadly for the rest of your life.

Seconded, nice piece

OP, u are right?


Lalasticala, send this to FP so that the singles will learn

Good info

Marriage is sweet but u really Cant predict what will happen next. Visiting a guy or a girl, spending few hours together cannot be compared to living with that person parmanently. patience, understanding, support and d willingness to make it work on d part of both parties will go a long way

Muma Gee married late. What became of her marriage? Sawdust.
There is a simple and open secret to family happiness: God's word, the bible. Why? The answer is simple:
Ephesians 3:14,15 says: "For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, 15 to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name".
So u see, God is the originator of the family and he alone knows how best we can make ours

You are right

Pope22:

You are right

Some peepz think "God has to speak to ya", for u to know ur spouse. Chai! Another gullible lot. If that were the case, why does 2 Timothy 3:16 tell us that W have all we need from the scriptures?
We just don't agree with the holy scriptures and the reasons are simple:
Too many false preachers has twisted God's word to suit their selfishness and we are not ready to accept God's standards of living

I've been married for almost 7yrs and I dated my wife for about a year and it was mostly a long distance dating cos she was in school then. All in all,it's a blissful marriage.
My point is even though you have to do due diligence,taking forever is no guarantee cos the outcome also depends on your behaviour. Pray for the wisdom to be able to decipher the right person and this does not take more than 6months to know.
What I have realised when a guy is ready for marriage he can do so under a year, but if he is not ready, simple faults become excuse . No woman come in complete package, if you see 70% attributes you're looking for, marry!

Nice comment, thanks. We are learning from the experienced ones

What is it with this issue of marriage? Why is it that when people hear marriage, what their mind will first think is the bad part or all the roughness and problems of marriage without looking at the positive side.
The problem is a lot of people are going into relationships today because of sex mostly and not because they want to make any tangible impact in the life of the other person or any goal for dating.
For ggodness sake, you people are just like someone been given 2 million naira to start business because he is matures enough to stand on his own, why won't he fail, why won't he only see people struggling in business, businesses failing, does are the things he will be seeing because he has never prepared all his life and funny enough, why he is seeing businesses closimg down, alot are opening around him and flourishing. The brain and eye will only see what we want them to see and not what they should be seeing.
You are complaining about bad marriages neither have you read alot of marriage and relationship books, go closer to peole having successful marriages to learn firat hand information from them, abi if you want to start business, is it not reasonable to read up business books, go to biz seminars, workshops and school, attach yourself to someone successful in biz to have physical experience and with that, your success rate will be higher, abeg make una leave jare
Nobody wants to improve their self but wants the world to improve around them

See I think even if you marry the right person and at the right time Ba...

THE DEVIL EXIST.. AND THE DEVIL IS BENT ON SEEING THINGS GO WRONG..
