TV host and documentary filmmaker, Bolanle Olukanni has given a deep insight into why intending couples must have deep thoughts and discuss their expectations before getting married.
In posts shared on her social media pages, Bolanle revealed that many people think they want to get married but what they truly want is the security they believe marriage can offer.
According to Bolanle, because people get married for different reasons, it is important for intending couples to have an honest conversation about their expectations in marriage to avoid disappointments.
The TV girl also warns ladies who want to get married for security purpose, against doing so in order not to get shocked when their expectations are not realised.
The thespian wrote,
“A lot of people think they want to get married but what they are looking for is the security they believe marriage can provide, which is fair, but what happens when the marriage doesn’t deliver on its idea and illusions that you have created??? You will be extremely shook.”
“Have you asked sincerely asked yourself why you want to get married? We all have many reasons though, but I believe that everyone should have an honest conversation with their future partner so you know how to understand each other’s expectations.
Be honest – tell it as it is , because in marriage the coding and forming will stop and you are left with the cards in your hand.
Failed expectations cause great disappointment- which can be worked on and healed with time. But the worse part is when those expectations weren’t discussed beforehand it’s cause chaos and confusion.”
Reacting to the post, many attest to Bolanle’s advice as they share experiences and the importance of thinking before marriage.
