One of the biggest mistakes people make before marriage is falling in love with a person's potential instead of accepting their present reality.

If someone smokes, drinks heavily, gambles, spends recklessly or has a lifestyle you genuinely dislike, ask yourself one simple question:

If this person never changes, can I still happily spend the rest of my life with them?

If the answer is no, then walk away. Do not enter the relationship hoping marriage will magically transform them into the person you want.

Many relationships become stressful because one partner spends years trying to "fix" the other. What started as love gradually becomes constant criticism, arguments and disappointment.

This does not mean couples should never encourage each other to become better. Healthy relationships inspire growth. A loving partner can encourage healthier habits, better financial decisions or personal development.

The difference is that encouragement respects a person's freedom, while control tries to force change.

Real change is most effective when it comes from personal conviction, not pressure.

Before saying "I do," pay close attention to the habits and values you see today. Marry the person they are now, not the version you have created in your imagination.

Many people assume marriage changes people. In reality, marriage often magnifies who people already are.

Choose wisely.

What do you mean by kalulu moniker.

Marrying or Dating someone hoping to change them in the future is a dangerous gamble. People only change when they choose to, not because of pressure. If you can't be content with who they are right now for the next 10-20 years, they aren't the right match.

Don’t take the RISK, you won’t like the outcome.

Adult don't change, they only pretend to change. A lot of people make such mistake.

This is what I've been saying all-day. You married a non-virgin (a woman who doesn't have sexual discipline, someone who has opened legs for several men) and you expect her to be faithful. Why you think say na your preeq sweet her from the list of preeqs wey she dey collect? Now let me ask you, a woman who couldn't close her legs for other men, why you think say go be good role model for your daughters? Anyways, adults don't change, they only adjust

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

People don't change overnight.

You see that the same bad character that your partner has been hiding during the relationship,he/she will eventually unveil them in marriage.

Indeed, never Marry someone with early red flags, hoping they would change all in the name of LOVE

Once a cheat is always a cheat. This time they would be careful not to be caught so easily like they their caught the last time

I know say Lamina must deliver for this thread

That’s a very very wrong move to make, the consequences of this careless decision can destroy you mentally, physically and emotionally beyond repair

Marriage be like shell. Until you break it, before you see wetin dey inside. Just marry, anything wey you see na your God give you.

Either way, you'll still marry the wrong person ' according to this guy below

If you do, your eyes will see your ears!

Yes. Accept people for who they are and who they're not.

Goats eats grass. If you give them meat and they refuse it, it doesn't mean your meat has spoilt or the goat is disrespectful or being ungrateful to your providence.
It just means that goats are living true to their nature: grass lover

What a sound advice. Let the wise listens.

Any prostitute around the age of 35 know about 12 men in her lifetime that attempted to domesticate them... They found out that trouble/stress is better than a boring normal life due to their personality.

I am regretting at the moment, I wish I could correct my mistake but it’s too late

Better run now,it will only get worse the longer you stay.

The idea of marriage is flawed. Humans are too complicated to make marriage work.

This is one of the commonest reasons marriages crash.

Believing you can change fully grown adults or believing they will change all because of love?

Sometimes you see a temporary change but trust me it won't last, most times that temporary change is just a pretence.

Marry only when you both know you can manage each other flaws,bad sides, etc coz no one is perfect, else remain single for the sake of your peace of mind.

What was the mistake sir

People can hibernate their character after marriage but a little pressure or bliss will make them reactivate the hibernating character. Bad people don't become good after marriage

Absolutely correct 👍. Good advice.
Also don't marry a person with anger.

Stop marrying with intentions of changing anyone

If before marriage you spot a habit that you can't stand, then FLEE immediately. For example, if like me you can't tolerate seeing a lady's dirty underwear, then don't proceed with the marriage if your fiancee is in the habit of not washing her underwears immediately after wearing them. She'll turn your house into a waste bin of smelly dross and ragged bras after marriage; and you'll be perpetually miserable living with her and her dirty habit.

People don’t change they only improve .

It's so hard to change yourself, not to talk of changing another human being.

Sure, some people are chameleons in nature.

That's why it's good to be divinely led to marry someone, because some are experts at hiding their bad characters!

No one is 100% perfect though.
