“Why Couples Should Live Together Before Marriage”- Singer Simi Gives Reasons (VIDEO)

Cohabitation before marriage isn’t the flex many people think it is… It’s more to the foolish side than the sensible.

• How successful your marriage would turn out isn’t entirely in your hands.
• The best guide to achieving a successful marriage is that of your Lord.

• He made cohabitation impermissible in whatever form.
• Cohabitation DOES NOT guarantee anyone a successful marriage… (so many examples to pick from).

Cohabitation is just an excuse to enjoy some perks of marriage without being married.

Eyi je, eyi o he…Then move on.

@Adore

If you like argue and bring religion into this. Na you sabi.

SHE IS RIGHT. CO HABIT🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️. Live with that person. Yes u can’t know someone completely but at least u will know if he/she is a clean person, flushes toilet, cleans after themselves,eating pattern (Mk dem no turn u to olopo overnight). It will help you prepare ur mind n decide if u really want to do forever with this person.

If you like no hear free advice 👩🏽‍🦯👩🏽‍🦯

@amara

So what about couples that have lived together for 30 years and still divorced???😒😒

@amazingfina

Very right…I cohabited with my ex and I ran away with my full chest!! My Ex is a demon and hides it from outsiders very very well!!!! Person wen tear my skin with knife because he was hangry!! Make he go meet him mama go year am nor bi me.

@bolbelle

There’s no manual to these things tbh. Some people cohabit for years, get married and divorce later while some have a lasting marriage. Some people don’t cohabit but after a few years of marriage, they get divorced while others that also didn’t cohabit have long and lasting marriages. Like I said, there is no manual to these things. Do whatever works for you and your partner. And I love the fact that she quickly added that it’s not by force before you online judges will drag her 😂😂
