The video stirred mixed reactions with many describing the ladies as being desperate.
Larmmy who lives in the US advised that people shouldn't underestimate the effectiveness of early prayers because of the sentiments some people shared on Twitter.
The lady went on to use her marriage as a case study of proof that early prayer towards marriage works.
Larmmy began praying towards her future marriage as a student
Sharing her story, Larmmy said she had a checklist of everything she wanted in a man and would hold random 7 days vigil as well as morning prayers for her future marriage.
She added that she began praying even as a student and before leaving the country for the US.
Larmmy said prayer is like one making savings deposit in a bank.
"I started doing this even when I was a student, before I left naija. So if you're thinking you're too young or it's too early, it's not. Think of your prayers as if you're making a savings deposit in a bank. One day, you'll make a withdrawal.
"I understand not everyone wants to get married and that's ok. Everyone has choices. But if you see yourself getting married and starting a family someday in future, start praying now!!!"

Larmmy says prayer is not the only thing that makes a successful marriage
When quizzed on the lack of early prayers being responsible for numerous divorces and broken homes, Larmmy said prayer is not a fix-all. In her words:
"While prayer is important, it is not a fix-all. There are so many factors that keep a marriage. It still requires work from both parties, especially Christians.
"A lot of things come into play. Amos 3:3, can 2 work together unless they be in agreement? Also, are they both united in their walk with God? finding the right partner is just the beginning of the journey.
"Part of my prayer point then was to find a partner who is actually more God-fearing than I am."

"I prayed and fasted to marry a particular girl but didn't work. I prayed and sow seeds to be become project manager instead I became a nurse. I am just saying."
@pristyno said:
"Most of you just assume stuff, I started praying for a wife from my 100L in school, most of you just assume guys are not serious about this stuff.
"When you understand marriage can either make you or destroy you, no one will tell you not to pray."
@techy_koko said:
"I'm not trying to dispute a fact or a belief but why are the girls mostly trained to keep praying ,what happened to the men? Can't the training be for both se*x? The same reason why most women would condone a wife beater all in the name of"he will change if I pray more."
Motivational speaker advises single people not to be like Rita Dominic
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a motivational speaker has explained why single people should ensure they don't end up like Rita Dominic in marriage.
Basil said that one should be celebrating 20 years of marriage at the age of 46 and not a new union.
The educationist explained that women have a higher possibility of giving birth to intelligent kids when they marry between the ages of 22 to 28, adding that the chances of doing so at 46 are slim.
While admitting that it is God that gives husbands, he advised women to stop being selective if they must marry before 46.
