Follow your heart,you need to be comfortable in marriage, so you need to satisfy yourself to have a perfect home.

You may be right...just some people will make you think you are about to hit menopause at 26 if you don't settle down.

Dnt wait to know a man too well before you marry cos you can never ever know a man too well even your father trust me...it's even worst with we the men sefundecided, you know, you women pretend alot??, so, trying to know a woman is a total waste of time...my usual advice to everybody dampling into marriage is, know the person's family backgroung and his/her relationship with their parents...if the person has a good record and rapour with his/her family and have something decent doing then give it a try....

But note this...

Always know that you are coming to spend the rest of your life with a total stranger, expect uncertainties cos they are certainly gonna emerge so you'd know how to handle it
Don't just marry for love, marry because you are compatible in all ramifications

My dear, i still have alot to type but no strength...better of on whatsapp so i'd counsel you properly...

Lastly, have the mindset that you gonna make your marriage work no matter what...

Ok, maybe later or wharsapp?, your choice tho.

What a wonderful piece you have here. I do at times with the picture of the bright sides but i don't at times when i begin to imagine all the possible things i never had in my plans that may come up. People change or show their true colors after many or couple of years of pretense.
You are a human. You live on planet earth with other humans who you interact with on a daily basis. Some components of this interaction include having friends, classmates, business associates and work colleagues. And all these components I mentioned are integral to the various enterprises that they represent; the friendships you form with people, your academics, your business and your job. These four enterprises are indispensable to your survival on planet earth, and the maximization of your flourishing as a human being depends on them. If one of these enterprises crumble, your life would be negatively affected, whether mildly or extremely.

Now, you know that people make up these enterprises and you interact with them on a daily basis. But you also know that these same people could be pretenders, and they could change and show their true colours in the future. There is always this possibility. But does the acknowledgement of this possiblity stop you from interacting with people, and building your life around them? Would you resign from your job, because you are afraid that your co-workers could change and turn on you in the future?

You met most of these people under circumstances you didn't have power over. You got into these enterprises with them, without knowing them first, or evaluating their behaviors, but yet, you still take the risk of building your life around them.

Now compare this with someone who you want to marry. Just like in these other enterprises I mentioned, you are still taking a risk, but a different kind of risk. Here, you have the chance to critically examine this person, and evaluate the degree of compatibility between you and this person, and from your observation, make the decision to or to not get married to him.

Think about this.

Abi ooo....my own advice to you is : please don't marry
You know marriage will make u to be under a man and u won't have your freedom to achieve your goals
Marriage will make u lesser and would you like to be under the control of any man??

what about the legal means of dissolution of marriage? (divorce) tho isn't a good idea


things about marriage depend solely on you not the person you getting married to, why not stay single forever if you don't wanna tie a knot with someome?


have a positive thinking not a negative one, stay cool

Experts doesn't know how to handle their own issues but they can pretty much tell you how to handle yours effectively. that is their pathetic secret .

It wasn't the same story as a teenager, as i use to imagine the kind of wonderful man and family I would love to have some day but the whole thing changed without me even me knowing how it started.

Mum and Dad are good as each respects each other opinion but i don't know why I always have reasons to run when i see things getting serious. At times,i don't want to be in a relationship as i function best without relationship attachments; once in relationship it drags me down.

I have this feeling and scared of getting married one day and i may not be able to achieve my dreams as i will be tied down to who hubby wants to be or family stuffs. I'm scared of loosing my Independence and of the unknown. mum won't stop reminding me i'm 26 as i waste no time going radical and telling her we are up to 4 girls,that i'm not to old and want to be happy when i marry and not just because the man is qualified. I will always look for a way to scare the man or kill the relationship once its obvious he really meant it.

I've never been into relationships much as i feel it drags me back . I still have my dreams to achieve, that i cant imagine giving up on them. My life as a sacrifice and what to live it doing that.

I don't know if this fear will ever go away,if i will ever welcome the idea with my whole heart or is it that i'm too ambitious,yet to see someone i can settle for?

pretty scared of marriage and its unknown.
I'm not sure my type of bride wouldn't run away from the church on my wedding day.
Been single is a good life and achieving ur dream re superb life expectations till u clock 40 and lack companionship and ur regrets might be higher.
People achieve dia dreams under th. e roof of a husband. Plus marriage is a sacrifice someone has to make, two imperfect beings coming together.

Dese re one aspect of life huddle one needs to cross to be a better human. Plus dat ur dream if heard might be wack. Lol

You are right but have you been in a relationship all plays out fine at the first and second phase, only for you to find out at the 3rd phase the first two are fake.

Things are beautiful when we pretend who we are not, only to get nasty when we get tired of holding on to pretense. I'm afraid of wasting time doting on what is not what it looks like.
Why pretend in the 1st place?

undecided

That's the problem with most relationships, people be pretending upandan.

Take it easy. I think the problem is that you are distracted by career goals or you ve had a story that happened to u which gives u shivers when u think of marriage.

I guess we are in the same shoe but of recent I'm beginning to get waned by the need to come a companion beside me even when Im alone in my room. I enjoy my independence so much and I don't have to answer to some lady who will checking up on me when and where I am but of a truth I am getting older and really looking forward to settling down now. Even if I start dating the lady I guess she should have her freedom to herself and talk/chat with me whenever she likes. Getting married can be some complicated but I'm bracing myself up to it ONLY that I need someone who's level-headed and career-focused. Still hoping to find her though
