Be well informed to know that crazy families like these/ those exist. Their traditions and rites are never skipped </p><p><br/></p><p>One mistake many people make is failing to ask the right <a class="tc-blue" href="https://questions.We" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">questions.We </a> are just so ignorant to these . The questions we think are important are</p><p><br/></p><p> "Babes, do you love me ?" </p><p><br/></p><p>Or proposing "Will you be my wife ?" </p><p><br/></p><p>asking whether someone loves you isn't the <a class="tc-blue" href="https://problem.Love" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">problem.Love </a> matters. But so do compatibility, real and honest communication, family expectations, personal boundaries(yes personal boundaries I say) and the willingness to negotiate differences.</p><p><br/></p><p>Before "be my wife and yes I will" how deep do you know each other . Not he , not she but her family, his religion, special things done in their family (ies) etc </p><p><br/></p><p>Before you marry the person you love, learn about the life you're agreeing to share with them before and after the vow DEATH DO US PART </p><p><br/></p><p>Another thing abeg ........ Getting pregnant out of wedlock or impregnating someone's pikin out of wedlock. We know mistake happens . If any of these should happen, try do the little thing you can on the person head (no be like that dem dey talk am ?) so as to avoid future <a class="tc-blue" href="https://doom.The" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">doom.The </a> spirituality of this world is already spiritually tiring already,don't add more to your spiritualize problems. </p><p><br/></p><p>I am a Christian.I am a Muslim.

Marriage can be beautiful, too. But beyond the butterflies, the affection, and the promises, there are real-life expectations that deserve honest conversations.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, to my fellow singles and those planning to marry, whether soon or later, please, let's learn to look beyond “I love you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Because sometimes, the questions you fail to ask before marriage become the very questions you desperately wish you'd asked afterward.</p><p><br/></p><p>I know all of these might sound somehow. </p><p><br/></p><p>Weird </p><p><br/></p><p>Stupid </p><p><br/></p><p>This kind of "excuse me" expression </p><p><br/></p><p>In all sincerity, it is better SAFE than SORRY </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>This is my shortie advice to we singles </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Other thoughts can be shared too pls especially from married person(s) because me too need advice before my own YES I DO </p><p><br/></p><p>ehn naw 🙃</p>
