"When I see really old people my mind immediately goes to how many people that they know that have passed away during their lifetime, right from when they were young. Must be really traumatizing. Am I normal?"

"Pls enjoy every little time you have with her, and I pray that God keeps her till that beautiful day and even spare her life till she sees your first fruits of love. Mine was 92 when she died in March. I still miss her every passing day."
Legit.ng reached out to a marriage counselor to get insight into the factors that might have influenced the lady’s statement about marriage and her wish to get married and have her grandmother witness it.
Mr Ogwuche Godson, who is a marriage counselor and head of Guru Counselling and Therapy Services, shared his views.
He explained how an individual can know if they are ready for marriage and spoke about several other things.
Mr Godson said:
"You know you’re truly ready for marriage when you’ve grown in emotional, mental, and spiritual maturity, and you understand that marriage is not just about love or excitement; it’s about partnership, responsibility, and long-term commitment. Being ready doesn’t mean you’re perfect; it means you’re willing to work on yourself and grow together with your partner."
"Readiness shows when you can handle conflict without losing control, communicate honestly even when it’s uncomfortable, and make compromises without feeling like you’re giving up your identity. It also means understanding your own worth, having clear boundaries, and being prepared to give love, respect, and support consistently, not just when it’s easy or convenient."
"A ready person also knows that marriage requires patience, sacrifice, and understanding, and they’re willing to invest in building a strong foundation with their partner. In short, readiness is about self-awareness, maturity, and a willingness to grow together, not just the desire to have a wedding or be in love. It’s about being able to face life’s challenges as a team while keeping your integrity and your partner’s well-being in mind."
While marriage is important, he also spoke about timing and the need to settle with the right partner, not just anyone, due to pressure from family or the need to satisfy others.
He concluded:
"Timing is very important when choosing to marry because even the right partner at the wrong time can lead to unnecessary stress and conflict. Marriage requires emotional maturity, stability, and readiness from both people; rushing into it before you’re prepared can make it harder to handle challenges together."
"Good timing means you’ve grown individually, understand yourself, and can bring your best self into the relationship. It also means your life circumstances, such as education, career, and personal goals, allow you to focus on building a strong, healthy marriage. In short, marrying at the right time helps you start your marriage on a solid foundation, rather than facing avoidable struggles from being unprepared."
"Choosing the right partner is far more important than rushing into marriage. It’s not about finding someone fast or simply someone who says ‘I love you.’ It’s about long-term compatibility, shared values, and emotional maturity. Take time to observe and understand the person fully; their character, habits, decision-making, and how they handle stress or conflict."
"Ask yourself: Do they respect me consistently? Can we communicate openly and honestly, even during disagreements? Do we share similar life goals, morals, and values? Also, pay attention to how they treat others; family, friends, and strangers, because that reflects who they truly are."
"A right partner will encourage your growth, support your dreams, and stand with you through challenges. They won’t pressure you into things you’re uncomfortable with, nor will they rely solely on charm, money, or gestures to keep you interested."
"Rushing into marriage often leads to problems later because emotions like excitement or infatuation fade, but core compatibility and shared values remain critical for a lasting, healthy relationship. Taking time to choose wisely ensures you build a marriage based on trust, respect, love, and a strong foundation, rather than convenience, pressure, or temporary attraction."
