Hello Readers,

Welcome to the rant column. 

Happy post Valentine’s Day to everyone and I hope you all had some good fun and celebrated with the deserving people in your lives. It’s no news that some people don’t understand what this day means, but I will say, always make sure you do the right thing in and out of Valentine’s day.

There is something I have noticed now amongst young ladies which I find very appalling and uncalled for, the rush for marriage, the rush to get engaged. Jeez! Every time, I feel like young women should be lectured that their sole purpose isn’t marriage but everything added is what Marriage is. The craze is unending and I know social media life isn’t helping women at all.

I have heard stories of women putting up a fight just because they feel their spouse should propose and he hasn’t. They begin to coerce him to do that. Excuse me, proposal comes willingly, you cannot force it. If he loves you to the extent of spending the rest of his life with you, you don’t need to teach him how to do that. Both of you are in the relationship, stop making him feel it’s an opportunity to have him while he should be the one appreciating the fact that he has you in his life, you have much more to offer.

As a smart woman, you should be able to decipher a man that is serious about you and the one who isn’t. Love with your head and not your heart alone. Be smart about your relationship and stop behaving like a pauper.

Sister! If he looks like he doesn’t want to be serious about you, Move ahead! You don’t have to coerce, cajole him to propose… Marriage should not be based on pleas.
