I've come to realize that we ladies
do a lot just to keep a man and get married . How long will we continue to
cover up the flaws we notice while dating all because we want to get married at
all cost? And in the end, we still end up being hurt.
Celebrities display the 'perfect
life ' on social media and make young ladies waste time waiting for a ready
made man.
Why post pictures of things your man
never bought for you? Who were you trying to impress? The signs will always be
there while courting. If you compromise on a lot of things while dating, you
will face the same things when you're married. Trust your instincts while
dating.
An irresponsible boyfriend won't be
a responsible husband unless he's willing to be responsible. A man who will
never go all out for you while dating would not go all out for you when you're
married unless he is willing to.
Put love aside, face the reality in
your relationship and address the issues in your relationship. Addressing the
issues will save you a lot of headache to an extent in your marriage. Never
live your life based on what you see on social media. A lot of people fake it
here.. it's just perception and what they want you to see and believe which
isn't exactly as it is.
If you've been in a 1 year
relationship and your boyfriend has never spent a dime on you, ask him for
money even when you know you have money to sort out yourself. If you don't ask,
how will you know if you're dating a stingy man?
If you're lucky enough to find a guy
who gives you from the little he has, who makes you a priority on his list ,
hold on to him. You don't come across such guys these days. A lot of ladies
fall for the wrong guys based on their fake lifestyle on social media.
There are a lot of things you can
achieve while you're still single. Marriage is not the ultimate. Stop counting
the number of your friends that are married, a lot of them wish they were still
single. Live your own life, do you and do what makes you happy. If you live
your life based on what you see on social media, you will only kill yourself.
Late Bimbo Odukoya once said
'Love is blind but marriage is the
eye opener'.
Why wait to be married when you can
open your eyes while dating?
BE WISE! Not all that glitters on
social media is gold in real life.
