Simi Advocates For Cohabitation Before Marriage by UncleSnr(op): 10:41am On Jan 27, 2024
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.

Normally you need to know who you are marrying because it is long time journey.

It’s called courtship.

That will solve nothing.

Before cohabitation was invented by the wicked generation, how did marriages survive?

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.

Hmm.... so there's no need for marriage rites then since one can enjoy the benefits of marriage without getting married.

What works best for you might turn sour for others....

The generation of young adults in Nigeria would misinterprete this your claim Simi...and abuse it then turn our culture to balderdash.

If you see what this generation do behind closed doors.... you'd realize that the rot social media influence had caused on the society is beyond repair.

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.

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.

It has nothing to do with her being a church girl since morality can be attained outside of Christianity. She is not a mumu only because she is not always nude like Tina Savage or Ayra Star.

Whether it guarantees a good marriage is not her argument, she simply stated that when you need to know someone inside & out, the only way to do that effectively is by periodically staying with them.

I understand that people who tell you otherwise are fearful of "sin" or don't want to appear "immoral," but it's false to imply that you can get to know someone without regularly sharing a home for a few days. Instead, those who tell you otherwise are lying to you or are using Christianity as their excuse.

there is nothing like wrath of god. God is not real that is why it does not protect Christians in the north that are being killed.

the body looks locally fabricated.,, did you make the body?
Re: Simi Advocates For Cohabitation Before Marriage by Fiscus105(m):
Wen people talk, they won't check the other side of it to weigh the disadvantage of it.

How many people you will co-habitate with before you finally get ur husband oo? Maybe after 7 pre-husbands houses.

When you have co-habitated with like 7-9 guys before you finally packed in to ur final husband house, how you as a woman feels about urself? What about the final husband? how will him feel too?


For you to co-habitate with partners before marriage, does that make you know everything about her? Is Adekunle not showing new behavior in which Simi never aware after like 3 years of their co-habitation? Does she run away because of that?

I doubt if women even take cognizant of body count again.

INSTEAD FOR HER TO PREACH MORE ABOUT, FORGIVIN SPRIT IN MARRIAGE AND ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO REACH COMPROMISE.

if couples not learn how to be reaching compromise, no man/woman that the person would be able to leave it.

Go and check behavior patterns of "marriage not for everyone crew" . They usually lack COMPROMISE attitude which is integra part of marriage success.

Abi oo, cos she stayed with Adekunle and was successful in her first attempt, let say she stays in succession with, like 9 guys and not be able to marry any of them, her senses would come back to normal.

Meanwhile, what about good man/woman turn bad? Thre are some type of people that are good before but after some time, they go bad, can co-habitation makes you know that one too?
