Marriage isn't entirely
about finding that right
person but being the
right person - only you
can decide when you
are ready (psychologically/
financially/emotionally....
etc) to take that plunge.

1: It gives you time
to build your education/career: A
sound educational
qualification is a good
step to building your
career. Growing a
career takes a lot of
time/energy which you
might not be able to
spare when you have a
family.

2: Financial Independence /
Stability: All things
being equal, financial
stability should go
alongside a career. If
you're a prudent
bachelor/spinster, this
is the time to save and
make investments. You
would be needing the
money later in life. #
Money is important

3: Marriage doesn't
have age limit: The
society has made us to
believe there is an ideal
age we are expected to
walk down the aisle, as
true as this might sound - there is actually no age limit to marriage.
Everyone's life part is
different , some people
have their first
marriage in their 30s,40s etc (we only
pray for it to be worth
it)...why don't you just
sit, relax and enjoy the
single moment'.

4: It isn't a race: Those thoughts that run through your mind
when a friend sends
that wedding invitation
and tells you to do
'asoebi' on top...you're
like, "na only me waka
come?" No be only you
waka come my dear, so
many people can relate
to that feeling. You're
not in a competition with your friends, never
consider marriage just
to be tagged "Mrs".

5: What better time
to explore: This is
the perfect time to go
on road trips, girls/
guys night out. You get
to know diverse places/
cultures before you
become all committed to one person.


With age comes a different perspective. Keep being the best you
can be, stay open... you just might find 'it' when you're least searching.
