Men I’ve Loved Before: Demystifying “The One”
April 19, 2022
I was recently reminded of the concept of “The One” when I found an old, long-forgotten list I had titled “Things I Worry About When I Think of My Upcoming Nuptials”. Right there, at Number 6, I’d written: “I’ll never meet The One, ever. It’s over. This is it. Boo hoo hoo.”

Marrying Later, Marrying Smarter
April 19, 2022
I always wanted to get married at 22. To this day I’m not sure exactly why, but the idea of being a beautiful young bride – and getting childbearing out of the way early – greatly appealed to me. Now, of course, I’m grateful I didn’t marry at 22, but I also find myself wondering what kind of wife I would have made at that age.
Are You The Marrying Kind of Woman?
April 19, 2022
Today I awoke to an interesting chat discussion about two separate ladies; the first got jilted after an 8-year-long relationship and was left penniless and alone – after clinging on for 8 years (she is obviously bitter and has been unable to pick up the pieces and move on).
JUST BEFORE YOU TIE THE KNOT…
April 19, 2022
Initially, I was a bit skeptical about writing on this topic because I’m really young and totally not ready to marry in the nearest future. However, overtime I’ve observed some of my young friends rush into marriage just for the pride of having a cute ring on the fourth finger and being addressed as “Mrs”.

There Goes the Bride
April 19, 2022
A broken engagement is better than a broken marriage. I’ve heard those words for as long as I can remember, and it never once crossed my mind that they would have anything to do with me; definitely not when I first set eyes on your handsome face.

For All The Men: From A Father To His Son
April 19, 2022
I was touched by the words in the letter below. In 1971, future-U.S. president Ronald Reagan wrote to his 26-year-old son Michael, just before he got married.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?
April 19, 2022
By Joy Ehonwa I’ve always thought about marriage a lot. Not about getting married or having a wedding, but about this thing called marriage. I wondered how it worked, and if it really was the way it had been presented to us. A few days ago I was at the salon and a really sour-faced … Continue reading What’s Love Got To Do With It?

With marriages breaking up these days and tales of infidelity all around us, I can’t help but wonder what hope there is for single ones. Does it make sense getting married? Or even falling in love?

Every weekend in Nigeria, if you are not in one wedding or two or even three, you are driving past a car with ribbons or seeing your neighbours in their own tailored version of the aso-ebi.
