| Is Engagement Overrated? by Nobody: 9:07am On Jun 05, 2015 |
Hello ladies and gent.... When I was a child,I see ladies with engagement ring and I am like why did she accept the ring when they can just proceed to married without wearing that engagement ring? Again I noticed the lady in question have been wearing that ring for years scaring guys away who would want to wife her immediately. My question is; -is engagement important in a relationship? -if yes,for how long? -if no,why? I need reasonable and matured answers please....Thanks |

its important if the guy is truly ready not just some hustling guys holding down ladies with engagement rings 6month is OK. you can't hold engagement ring for years, if the guy isn't ready to settle down, he should continue his bf & gf game |

agarawu23:May God not let them meet Lord Of The Rings. Lol, una go wait tire, and I wrote una, cos, he'd have engaged many others too. However it is important in a relationship sha, when the guy is ready to tie the knot soon. |

agarawu23:Agreed! |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by agarawu23(m): 9:15am On Jun 05, 2015 |
Cirphrank:exactly. some guys believe giving her engagement ring will hold her and scare guys away from her and this guys aren't ready to face financial challenges. A lady that is yours will definitely be. you don't need to hang her with your ring when you are still in 100 level |

Well when u see genuine engagement rings on people u'll know, forget abt those things u see on the fingers of some ladies that don't even have boyfriends not to talk of fiance, they're wearing it just to belong. |

krall3:Lol |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by Nobody: 9:26am On Jun 05, 2015 |
agarawu23:Thanks for your answer.. If he's truly ready why not go for marriage instead of the engagement? I have seen a lady with engagement ring for 4yrs(donno if she's lord of the rings o) |

Afrok:Yea I agree cos ladies wear fashion ring these days.....but I know an engagement ring when I see one. Whosoever that wears a ring to "belong"is on a long thing and she's deceiving herself. |

It's important so that at that moment, you know you are committed to someone, at the same time engagement shouldn't be too long, for me I wuld say 6 months, at most a year, anything beyond that is a no no |

Eseohe23:yeah! That's why the price of "aso ebi" keeps increasing every weekend. |

Op I think yes you have to get engaged first then marriage .. Hence y married couples wear two rings (wife) Also engagement can even be merged with introduction. It can be personal btw both couples or they can announce it to friends, family n have a party. But there is no time frame, some ppl stay engaged for one year , 2,3 some months before they get married. Lol hope this helps ![]() |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by agarawu23(m): 9:41am On Jun 05, 2015 |
Eseohe23:4years is too much. Another thing is you ladies, you want a guy to be fully loaded before you guys wed. You guys don't wanna hustle with any guy unless you see the already made guys. The already made guys didn't became rich overnight if their parents aren't rich. Some guys are just scared to face marriage palava with their little cash that's why they end up engaging a lady for years though some guys are not just serious. |

LadyBoss1:Okay...thanks |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by mayorkyzo: 9:42am On Jun 05, 2015 |
I think an engagement ring should be given to a girl a few months to the wedding..when concrete plans are in place for the wedding..not giving a lady a ring to hold her down for years... |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by Nobody: 9:43am On Jun 05, 2015 |
agarawu23:4 years is not too much If there is guarantee he will marry some guys just take a lil longer before they sign dotted line |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by dharay99: 9:44am On Jun 05, 2015 |
Eseohe23: lolz, Am i gonna get beaten for dat? |

LadyBoss1:bolded is the main issue. the guarantee is not certain, he might end up dumping her. don't forget ladies aren't the same with guys. A guys can stay on engagement for years but the story isn't the same with ladies |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by Nobody: 9:52am On Jun 05, 2015 |
agarawu23:Ehn! For a lady to have been engaged to the guyfo 4yrs,think they've been throuh so many things together.so the idea of not hustling with him shouldn't be there. |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by Nobody: 9:57am On Jun 05, 2015 |
mayorkyzo:.....Exactly my thought.. |
| Re: Is Engagement Overrated? by agarawu23(m): 9:57am On Jun 05, 2015 |
Eseohe23:hmmmmm If marriage can break, what does it take engagement to crash? ladies out there aren't ready to soak garri with you and that's the fact. the few ones are scarce like the fuel scarcity. if a lady can endure 4years engagement without pressure from friends & family, definitely she is a teen because 4 years is just too long.. |

Not all relationships lead to marriage. However, when one decides to take his relationship further to marriage, it's paramount for both party to come together and assure themselves of committing to make it work. That's why it's called ENGAGEment. This is where many persons miss it. Engagement is not a time to see if you guys are compatible. What were you doing all the while you were dating? That period of engagement is a period of planning and preparation(financially, spiritually and otherwise). Though I'm not a fan of long engagement, 6 months is an inadequate time frame for effective and solid preparation. It depends largely on what their relationship was like before the engagement though. That'll be all for now. So, engagement is not overrated. ![]() |

agarawu23:Engaged for 4 years? Doesn't she get tired of wearing the ring? 4 years is damn too long to be engaged. |
