And, as a result of that, the only thing that is available to do is sex, which can damage their marital pursuit.

All we have mentioned above are not a day talk; neither a month nor a year talk.

They are something you can talk and talk until your mind is clear.

So many marriages are having problems today because they fail to talk the right thing while in courtship.

They substitute thier talking period for sex and other related acts.

FEWER PROBLEMS YOU WILL HAVE IN MARRIAGE IF YOU HAVE QUALITY TALKING IN COURTSHIP.

IT IS NOT TIME FOR MARRIAGE

It is not time for marriage until you are satisfied with every talking, until your eyes can see clearly the bottom of the water, until you have guarantee of your second life ( marriage).

You can save yourself from fruitless race in marriage now that you are not bonded with marital vows.

You don't have to join the queue of failing marriages.

Marriage is sweet and marriage is bitter base on your own experience and content of your discussion while in courtship

Bless you all.
