Almost everyone in the world is in one or two romantic relationship. You know, some double date, so two romantic relationship. An important factor to consider when delving into a romantic relationship is Genotype. Know your partner, this should be the first agenda to avoid stories that touch the heart and sickle cell saga.

Relationship is not war, it is normal to have fun and explore. But, before you get carried away, it is necessary to know your partner, it's for the future, not now. Some ladies are so greedy to the extent of overlooking the compulsory thing to do. All they want is Ice cream and Shawarma, and flex. They just want to be known as a rich dude's girlfriend or fiancée , neglecting the consequences of their action.

What you need to do, is very easy. It can be over a dinner date, or an outing. "Babe, do you mind filling me in on your Genotype and blood group? I'm AA and 'O' positive. What's yours? Or, it can be like this... "Sweetie, if you really want to be the father or mother of our unborn healthy babies, I need to know if we are compatible,for the sake of our babies, what's your Genotype, love?

It is very simple, like A B C, no arguments involved. It's not a crime if your Genotype isn't favourable, you didn't create yourself. If you are about to walk down the aisle, to be one forever with your partner, and you ain't aware of what your Genotype and blood group is, you are making a huge mistake. It's disastrous.


Imagine for a minute, giving birth to sick babies,and spending almost every weekend at the hospital cause of your reckless attitude..sad. I'm sure you don't want that.

Genotype is the description of the pair of alleles in our DNA. There are five different types of blood genotype. They are AA,AS, AC,SS, SC. The first two pairs (AA & AS) are normal. AC is rare and the latter two (SS & SC) are irregular and anomalous, Commonly causing sickle cell disease. Sickle cell occurs when an individual's blood cells are shaped in a deformed and abnormal manner, blocking blood flow,causing pain and damage to vital organs.

Before taking the bold step of saying "I, do" be sure your Genotype is compatible with your partner.

Generally, AA is best for different blood genotype. AA, can marry AA, AS, SS, AC. AS, can not marry AS, SS, AC,. SS is not compatible with SS, same with AC. The best blood genotype for SS and AC is AA. Below, is the different genotype and their compatibility.


AA + AA = AA, AA, AA, AA (excellent)

AA + AS = AA, AS, AA, AS, (Good)

AA + SS = AS, AS, AS, AS, (Fair)

AA + AC = AA, AA, AA, AC. (Good)

AS + AS = AA, AS, AS, SS, (Very Bad)

AS + SS = AS, SS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)

AS + AC = AA, AC, AS,SS. (Bad; Advice needed)

SS + SS = SS, SS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)

AC + SS = AS, AS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)

AC + AC = AA, AC, AC, SS. ( Bad; Advice needed)

Dear young lady and gentle man, if you truly love your partner as you claim,ask for their genotype. And, if you are both compatible, congratulations, if otherwise, this is the time to truly express your love. I know it's not easy to leave the love of your life, but letting go when you ain't compatible is the best form of love.

Loving your Loving your partner is also loving your unborn babies. You need to let go of your love, so your kids won't suffer countless Sickle cell attacks.

Conclusively, make sure you don't end up with a partner that will later put your babies at risk. Open your mouth, and ask for the genotype of the one you love. You won't die! Ask. Save yourself, save your future and stop putting kids in intolerable pains, while you give the hospital your life savings. Go to the hospital and know your Genotype and blood group, it's a life saver.


Shalom!

This is a very important issue that many people overlook all in the name of love.
We should all know our genotypes and be ready to let go when we are not compatible with a person.
