I welcome you to my blog. Marriage is a forever thing and not something you can agree to today and come out of tomorrow, which makes rushing into it with just anyone a very bad idea. So many marriages came crashing down because the parties involved gave room for the marriage fever; it got to them, and then they rushed to get married because they were tired of answering questions about when they will marry. Why have you not married? Your mates are married; what are you waiting for? All these questions, both from adults far and near and even your mates and peers, can drive one insane, but that still does not mean one should rush into marriage.
Ending up with the wrong partner will be hell on earth for you as an individual. Whether man or woman, the wrong partner will reduce your life span drastically; your health will diminish very fast because of lack of peace. Your house should be your safe haven, one you run to every day after dealing with the world. Now imagine after dealing with the world, you will now have to go back home and deal with the wrong partner you married because of the pressure from outsiders that will not even be in the marriage with you.
A friend of mine will say our part in any marriage or wedding is on the day of that wedding or marriage; after that day, whatever happens is between the couple. If the marriage is peaceful, it is between the couple; if it is not, it is still between the couple. We have no say in whatever happens after the wedding day, and that is nothing but the truth. If outsiders cannot interfere or decide what happens in your marriage, why let them decide when you marry?? Immediately after the wedding reception nobody really checks in if you are enjoying your marriage or enduring your marriage, so vet properly before agreeing to do forever with anybody.
When there is desperation because your friends are married and you want to get married too and you let the pressure from society get to you, that is when you end up settling for just anything. If you let the marriage fever get to you, you will live with the pain for the rest of your life. A friend of mine that just graduated already has his family on his neck about when he will marry because he is the only son; nobody provided him with a job after graduation, but they are pressuring him and asking when he will get married. If you let the pressure decide for you, you will be the only one to suffer the consequences.
