WHAT IS AN UNDER AGED MARRIAGE & DATE


In addressing the believe and philosophy that many people have, when they see two young people in relationship and getting married in their earlier 20s, or late teen of 18/20. You hear them say they are too small to date, too young to be in relationship. A girl or lady of Under 23 are not under age at all for dating and marriage, most girls nowadays finish secondary at age 15 and 16 years, and already in high institution at age 16, by the age of 19 years or 20 years they are already a graduate. If fortune smiles on them early, they are already working straight from University, that's if their parents are connected. Most of our mothers, in the past got married at a young age of between 16-18yrs because to them it is the rightful ripe age for marriage. Your believe system for when or what age should a lady be in relationship is totally wrong if you think a lady/girl of 16 to 18 years isn't matured for relationship and marriage.


In many countries 16 year is very okay to marry, with the believe that "the virgin's hymen will break easily without much pain for a virgin during intercourse during honey moon. But the older a lady is and still a virgin the virgin's hymen becomes harder", that was their believe for marrying early during 70s. And it is still in practice today. I just learnt in a member's comment that in Ghana, a girl of 9years is ripe for marriage, oh! I don't support such barbaric practices. Our own northerners also practice that in # Naija and serious legislature is on-going against it here in Nigeria, because of what those little girls suffers during child birth and post-childbirth trauma. So therefore from 18 years to 22years as a girl is not a girl but a lady and free to date, enter relationship and marry, 18 years is United Nation acceptable year of adulthood for but male and female.


The ambiguity surrounding the age allowed to date, be in relationship with opposite sex and marriage thing, differs from one country to another, from culture to culture and traditions, and religion, and beliefs. Every country have their laws and constitutions for what age is allowed for marriage, even states within countries do have theirs, and whatever your believe can't change it. Neither will the guys/men dating/marrying girls from the age of 18 committing any crime. My own opinion is that I think a 16 year old mind and intellect isn't properly formed to absorb the pressures of marriage nor dating. But, most girls at 16 year are already matured if they have been properly groomed by their mothers, in preparation for adulthood and are exposed to books. Let us not abuse our youth's mind into crimes and illicit sex.

MARRY A BEST FRIEND

Friends play a vital role in our lives. The presence of friends in our lives is supposed to be a blessing. There is no security like having a friend who watches your back, guides you, assists you and listens to you. After creating man, God realized there was one thing missing, which was a lifetime friend for the man. That is why He instituted marriage; a lifetime friendship between a man and his wife. In this life, if any one will doubt us, not our friends. If anyone will give up on us, not our friends yet people we call friends, people we take bullets for, are the ones behind the trigger sometimes. Enemies who want to hurt you these days come into your life as your friend, just to have access to you. Satan has succeeded in creating counterfeits, including friends. If this is not the case, how can a husband of ten years of marriage tell his wife, “I no longer feel love for you so I want a divorce”, how can a wife married to wealthy man, leave him because he is now broke. People t...

HOW TO MEASURE SUCCESS

I will be very correct to tell you that many people out there who make use of the word “success” don’t even know what it means. Sometimes people thinks success is all about having fame, riches and respect. The English dictionary describes success as “the achievement of one’s aim or goal” . There are lot of definition and meaning of success but I will take that a more composed meaning, in other words it carries the definition and meaning.           To be successful does not mean you must have half of the world in your hands, or probably, ride on a Bugatti or Ferrari, to be a success don’t not mean you must live in coconut highland, have a mansion and But to the definition I took, success talks about achievement, which is the act of achieving or performing a successful performance. And after it said one’s aim and goal, the word one’s there means your. Now let’s configure the definition removing one’s and putting your, then it will ...

HOW TO INSTILL MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth. 2. Be good to your neighbors and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate. 3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you. 4. When driving them to school, don’t always play albums or CD's in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact – trust me! 5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn’t take much time, but very good in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories. 6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable clothes even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being cl...

WAYS TO HONOR YOUR MAN

1. Respectfully communicate with him. Don't talk to him harshly, rudely or as a nobody. 2. Let him know he’s important to you. Always say it and show it. 3. Purposefully try to understand his feelings—even when you disagree with him. Minimize the frequency of your disagreement. 4. Show interest in his friends by giving him some time to be with them if they’re trust-worthy. 5. Let go of the small stuff. We all have annoying habits and preferences that are different from our spouse’s. Don't impose what you love on him. 6. Tell him you both love him AND like him. 7. Either show interest in his hobbies or allow him space to participate freely. Allow him to enjoy and relax himself. 8. Protect his dignity on a daily basis. Don't talk bad of him and don't allow your friends to do same. 9. When confronting him, realize he has feelings also and not a saint. 10. Foster an atmosphere of laughter in your relationship. Look for ways to laugh together. 11. Try not to m...
