Hello all. I have something I would like to get your opinions on. Guys a cousin of mine just got married. Its was a nice wedding, and a lot of high society people where there. The lady he married was actively dating someone else before she was plucked from the relationship and pushed in the marriage. I found that very uncomfortable to hear. Its really so sad and I wonder if it will ever stop in Naija. I was later informed that he and the lady he married never knew themselves, never spoke or communicated before and only got to meet on account of the wedding. Now these two characters (my cousin and the wife) are two very different people and though they have been married for a few months, sparks have already started flying. It has been a war zone since after the wedding. Now my question is, would anyone embark in marrying someone he/she does not know? If you do what chances do you think you'd have in being happy? How common is this kind of arrangement back home?

Who says courtship is a prerequisite for a lasting marriage.It is nt a serious issue cos even if they ve gotten to court for 100yrs b4 getting married,there wld still be differneces. Go ask people that ve courted for so long...my dear,no time is enough to get to know somebody.most marriages survive through prayers, patience and understanding.there is no such thing as perfect partner anywhere unless he wants to get a divorce n then hope to find d kind of woman he wants which he can never find.

Madam u dey right but,.......dating someone would give one an insight about the character the other person has. U would know some of her/his likes and dislikes. U would know if u like the person's smell in the bedroom and if u still like it when the person wakes in the morning. U will know if u like sex with the person and how u could improve it if its not so wonderful. In this case, I am told everything is the problem. From sex, to communication, to most of the little details.

so does dat mean dat people dat go for a divorce neva went in2 courtship to knw more abt their likes n dislikes etc? marriage is a risk,a mystery..just as life itself is. well,evryone is entitled to a choice.
