The lady's story grabbed social media attention after she mentioned where she met the man who later became her husband and how quickly they got married from the time they met.
We tried to understand how individuals could make such a life decision with people they met within a short time.
Legit.ng contacted Mr. Godwin Ogwuche, a relationship therapist, to get more knowledge and add value to our study.
When we asked if two years is enough to date a person before considering marriage, he gave expert advice.
His statement:
"Two years can be enough to know someone before marriage, but it depends on the quality of the relationship, not just the time. What matters most is whether the couple has had time to:"
"Communicate openly about goals, values, and expectations."
"Navigate conflicts and challenges together."
"Understand each other’s habits, strengths, and weaknesses."
"Build trust, respect, and emotional intimacy."
"If these things are present, two years can be enough. But if the relationship has been shallow, rushed, or full of avoidance, even a longer time doesn’t guarantee readiness. Success in marriage is about growth, understanding, emotional maturity, stability, and compatibility-not just the calendar."
He also shared advice for individuals who are considering a similar relationship in a short program like NYSC.
Mr. Ogwuche added:
"For couples who meet in short programs like NYSC, my advice is to use intentionality and comtement of the program make you skip the important steps of getting to know each other deeply and preparing for a strong relationship."
