Relationship Is No Joke
So, we only have just a day to a new year. I am really excited entering into the new season with different perspective and I am sure you are too?
Yesterday was another tiring day for me that I just had to continue multitasking to meet up my plans. Thank God for my system, My phone wouldn´t have been able to go that far, because as I was busy on my system reading articles on read.cash, I was using my phone to make a post on Hive as I didn´t want to miss posting my pictures for the Wednesday Challenge. I was able to do everything I planned doing last night, then I watched an interesting movie titled "fine wine".
I read @Olasquare post about relationship stuff yesterday and that reminded me of something I was shocked with which has to do with marriage. Seeing the way everyone is going into marriage these days is just too much that I am like "is marriage that easy?" But what some people do not understand is that wedding is different from marriage which both terms are far from each other. People want to experience wedding but forget the big event ahead which is marriage and that is the big deal, forever, "till death do us part" saying.
I have a friend who has a friend which I know very well. This lady clocked 25 this month and just finished her NCE and do not even have plans furthering because when I asked her, she said she won´t further, that NCE is enough for her. I bet you, finding a teaching Job with an NCE certificate is just like being tipped a penny as salary, whereas, I can still say degree holders are receiving something.
According to my friend, she doesn´t have any savings and would be getting married by February. This lady has never taken her time to know where her boyfriend stays in Lagos. To make it surprising, she didn´t do an introduction and she wants to get married. Will she just be introducing her boyfriend to the family on that day? I still do not get the whole thing. Is marriage that easy and difficult to venture into? You do not know your man and you want to get married. You didn´t define your relationship, and you are already talking about marriage. What is taking her in such an hurry?
How does she plan surviving especially in Lagos? For God´s sake, why are young girls not understanding this word? As a matter of fact, this lady just went to school but still cannot operate an android phone not to talk of expressing herself in English. If you cannot define your relationship now, it would be too late entering into marriage. You don´t have anything, will you depend on him? Your qualification isn´t favoring and there is still time to work on this relationship.
I tried talking to my friend to talk to her because they both flow well but she said she cannot so she doesn´t get embarrassed. Yes, I know this lady to be naive and would pick offence at anything. A reason she never wanted anyone to advice her. I laughed when she mentioned that they would give her part of the rice her husband brings as bride price. Can you imagine? A guy who collects such is a fool, sorry to say. Your husband brought in bride price for the family, and you expect part of it should be shared for you. LOL
I remembered when I was finishing my NCE years back, my friend told me the next thing is for me to start preparing and planning for marriage, even if it is not now. She said any money I have as extra, I should start getting things for marriage, which I love the idea. There is need to plan for anything you want in life. Make plans so you don´t have to regret or cry about it later.
Relationship is two people´s thing and not one depending on another because if it happens, there won´t be respect or one valuing another. You both should bring something to the table. With this, your union would last long. It will get to a point one would get tired and this is one of the reasons breakups happen. When you do not understand yourselves, when you do not define your purpose in the relationship, where what you both are meant for is “bedmatics” as Ola calls it, the relationship will not last. To avoid this from happening, you need to plan ahead for it. Relationship is not a child´s play, it is meant for the ones who understands the techniques in it just as I commented on Gozie´s article.
Thanks for Reading.
