WHY I COULD NOT MARRY HIM
As I write this post, I think back to several years ago when I was still very young and naive. I was dating this guy who obviously was taking advantage of my naivety. He began to make proclamations about marriage even when he knew how young I was.
Despite my age, I knew deep within me that I couldn’t possibly marry him and I want to share these reasons with you today.
HE COULDN’T TAKE CARE OF ME: For crying out loud, he was leaving with his parents and depended on them for almost everything. He didn’t know half of what marriage entailed and couldn’t even guess what to expect; how then could he take care of me? In marriage, a man is appointed as the head of the home and it is his responsibility to be capable of fending for his wife and forthcoming children; if he fails at this then his man-hood should be questioned. These were candid thoughts on my mind and for these reasons, I just couldn’t gamble with my future by marrying him.
DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS VIEWS: As I got to know him more, it became clearer to me that our religious views were never going to fit into a line. I just couldn’t overlook this for any reason. What was to become of me when trying issues and tempestuous challenges became the order of our marriage? What was to become of our “children-to-be” when they are being confused by varying religious opinions and different ways of life? What was to become of the marriage when the captain and the co-captain where moving in different directions? For these reasons, I just couldn’t marry him.
WE DIDN’T COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER: Last time I checked, marriage was supposed to be between two (2) individuals who made themselves better; who were better halves; who complemented each other in every way possible. This was not the same for us. We disagreed on almost everything and agreed on almost nothing. Whenever we weren’t quarrelling, we were settling a quarrel. He forced me to come to terms with his way of life and I tried doing same too. The relationship was like being on a battlefield and I just didn’t want to imagine how the marriage was going to be. I couldn’t marry him because we didn’t complement each other.
