YOU DON’T WANT TO MARRY ABI, WHY?

All of you that are shouting "I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED". That's very good. I was once like you.

I hated guys back then and hearing the word marriage made me obnoxious.

Maybe I understand what it means to decide to NO MARRAIGE.

I am not here to judge or make you feel your decisions are not worth it, I'm just concerned about you living your life in accordance to TRENDS.

I am not really concerned about you saying it. I am concerned about the why.

Of recent, I've been seeing different statements like, God too knows this marriage thing is not for me, all the best for marriage, ko ni da fun love, and all sorts.

Now to your WHY.

If your WHY is because others are doing it, then maybe you don't know what's up.

Must you follow trends?

Do you understand the concept of marriage before giving in to the murmurs of people?

Hey, I am not here to tell you what marriage is and what it is not because I don't understand or know what it feels like.

I'm just concerned about you wanting to follow trends every now and then.

Marriage is sweet and comes with its own ups and down.

The fact that somebody's marriage ended up in divorce doesn't mean yours will.

The fact that others are saying they are not doing does not mean you should.

Do you understand the WHY behind their decisions?

Maybe if you understand you will see reasons why you should do things on your own and not with the mindset of the crowd.

Those shouting are the people that will still send you IV for their wedding.

Others may eventually stay single sha.

Stop being here and there, choose what you want, and stick by it.

Love is sweet. And there's a labour attached with it too.

Don't allow anybody brainwash you to believe marriage is not worth it.

I just want you to stop following trends and stand for what you want.

There's life beyond the scope of social media.

Social media should not define your decision.

If you want to get married, please prepare for it.

And if you don't want to get married, please prepare for it too.

Don't just let your decision be based on trends, other people divorced stories, broken homes, and all those talks that's being paraded on social media.

I know some of those stories are true but is that what you want? Tell me please.

Choose what you want regardless of trends and go for it.

I look forward to getting married and nobody will talk me out of it. Amen?

It may not be so soon but it will definitely happen.

Tomorrow, there will be another trend on the street and you will go for it.

You no dey tire?

Trends are fickle, they pass away with time.

At the end of the day it will be devastating to know that you lived your life in patterns to trends and the move of others.

Don't allow anybody brainwash you fa. Na you I go pain pass.

Beyond the subject of marriage, live your life based on a balanced mindset.

Permit me to say “OMA DA FUN LOVE”. ( I go better for love)

Live life and enjoy yourself.

Love Jesus too.

I love you dearly.

Enjoy!

Cheers!
