Life coach Solomon Buchi shared his perspective on marriage, countering singer Simi’s recent suggestion about couples living together before tying the knot.
Buchi emphasized that it’s impossible for individuals to know their partners too well before marriage, and the reality of married life often brings surprises.
He acknowledged the uncertainty and fear associated with marriage, suggesting that the person one knew before marriage can evolve, requiring couples to experience each other as new individuals. Buchi advised against dating for too long with the aim of getting to know each other thoroughly, stating that marriage itself teaches couples things they may not have discovered during the dating phase.
Simi’s viewpoint, which encourages couples to live together before marriage, was presented in a recent podcast. She highlighted the importance of understanding each other’s behaviours and characteristics before making the commitment of marriage.
Solomon Buchi shared his personal experience, revealing that he met his wife and, within a week, expressed his intention to date her with the purpose of marriage. His advice aligns with the idea that once the decision to get married is made, there’s no need to unnecessarily prolong the dating phase.
