    I got married at 20 and I’d do it all over again hai kabi. We are both successful and doing well, not because we are lucky but we’ve worked so hard to be where we are right now. Being equally yoked to your partner and their family at extend also goes a long way in marriage. There’s so much to consider but at the end of the day what worked for me might not work for another 20yr old.

    Spot on ❤🥂 also being too serious in a relationship in your 20s, dating like you are married and being a “wife” to a boyfriend loosing years of your youth to an idiot. It’s a scam. Dont do it. Putting up with a broke boyfriend- being a ride or die chick. DONT. Focus on you, your happiness, beauty, growth and purpose. Focus on things/ relationships that elevate you as you go into your 30s and 40s and up

      I have witnessed this transformation too @omphymoremi4770 & from where I am sitting Owami, that marriage was very toxic shame. I'm trying to think of marriages in my circles/ of people that I know who got married young & are living their happily ever after & the numbers are scary & mostly it's the women who have to keep up with the horrible things their husbands are doing but it's all taboo or babekezele inonsense, when you observe from an objective perspective...all in the name of "We've been married for 10 years" etc. Or it's because they are worried about what people will say or they're still there for the kids or the financial aspect of it or the comfort (not wanting to lose the lifestyle they're are used to).
      But I also agree with the comment that it's not necessarily the fact that couples got married young but who they got married to & whether their spouse respected marriage when they committed and that they truly wanted to get married to their chosen spouse.
      There are a few old couples with beautiful marriages that got married very young

  • @nomsatorcida9612

    I completely concur with this video's message. I declined two marriage proposals in my early twenties and I don't regret it. My Mom got married when she was 19 and by age 24 she had had three children. Unfortunately that man left her and we SUFFERED. I got married when I turned 30, and by then I had already been working. I learnt from my mom's mistake, I married older and I'll never put myself in a position where I have to depend on my husband for everything.

  • @ReabetsweManyike
    @ReabetsweManyike 5 місяців тому +27

    I get where you’re coming from and it’s a little tricky because people will want to defend their decisions (if they are in beautiful marriages). Marriage is good but the point is that we should encourage the younger generation to invest in themselves so that they are grounded in who they are, and hopefully they find a partner that matches their level.
    Also, just because you got a good man early it doesn’t mean someone else will, so it’s tricky to use your love story as a blueprint because it might end the way it did for Owamie.
    Long story short, there is no formula to this but we must make sure young women are empowered before they consider being in a serious relationship.

    • @melissasikhosana9573

      @ReabetsweManyike 🙌🏽This is so true. I think people also forget the amount of change you go through as a person from teen years - 20's and from 20's - 30's. I always think about where i would be if i married the guys i dated in my 20's. Jesus😢 I probably wouldn't even be living overseas and having such fun.
      Life is not perfect it has it's bad days etc...,but i can safely say that i am living a good life.
      Owamie's divorce was like a rebirth. She is glowing and looking younger. She must keep going.🎉

BUT I was not ready especially financially, currently unemployed and it's a struggle to raise a child with no income😢. If i had waited i would have gotten employed first , got married then had a baby. At the end of the day we learn but Ladies please, those with no children DONT HAVE A CHILD UNTIL YOU ARE READY IN ALL ASPECTS, MOTHERHOOD HAS ITS CHALLENGES BUT DONT LET IT BEING UNABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY.

    Don’t date if you’re not trying to share a life with someone. Dating should be for marriage, keep your life simple. Mjolo is unnecessary. It will lead to serious life problems 😭
    Try Jesus ladies, if you’re in your early 20’s and you’re not ready for marriage, trust me you’re not ready for dating as well. Make Jesus your center because you do need to make someone your center (that’s a human need). Yekani abafana! It’s rare to grow a boy into a man of your dreams. One of you will realize later in that you actually settled for less. This leads to abusive and toxic relationships.

I no longer have friends, when ever I mention going out with friends he starts complain that what are we talking abt with friends who are not married. My life revolves around him, even when I have to go attend family gatherings you can tell that he is not happy at all. At times I feel lonely and depressed in my own marriage. We have 2 kids now n he still wants more, I feel like his still trying to lock me so that other men don't look at me. At this point I feel like am just staying for the kids.

      But how does one ever really know that they married wrong In the beginning of the marriage? People change and grow up certain ideas and world views change as you grow, how do you make conscious decisions as an individual for what’s best for you without having to consider all the time your partner, women tend to sacrifice more than men and that’s when resentment builds up. BUT if you continuously want to live for someone or being influenced by someone else all your life from a young age then by all means marry young ladies.

    true. personally, i feel like most of us (late-bloomers), tend to be fools for love. this is why i heavily encourage dating in Highschoool. dating and not engaging in coitus escapades because you tend to have thick skin. if you are still new to the game, you tend to be naive.

    "Whether you like it or not staying with a man limits you as a woman” speak for yourself, sis. I see your perspective, but not everyone is suffering, Owami. I live with my husband, but he does not prevent me from taking care of myself or limit me from thriving in my job. It can be limiting for some, but it is not true for everyone. It's a personal and preference thing, sis. It’s mind blowing how you think your truth is what everyone else is going through.

    • @VhoTurnDoor
      @VhoTurnDoor 4 місяці тому +8

      You are projecting. What Owami said makes sense because when you are in a committed relationship (esp. marriage), you always have to be considerate of your partner and their family (as a Makoti), even when making decisions that are about your own personal/career development. You can't just up and leave to go to another city/country to further your studies or take up a higher position to advance your career. You always have to plan ahead and involve your partner. It's a burden that you have to carry as a partnered person. That is the truth. Your partner might not necessarily prevent you or say no. But there will always be those ''what about ABC?'' whenever you make a life changing decision about your own personal development moves.

    Even for those who are young are young&happily married its still important as a woman to be able to survive should your man not be there.Death sadly happens& estates can take time to wrap up so if you cant stand on your own as a woman you and your kids are screwed.A girl must have her own stuff and an identity outside of a relationship please.

I am turning 26 in July and I have been that girl who took relationships serious, in my final year 2022 I broke up with my boyfriend because he cheated on me. We met at university and started dating, my first boyfriend broke my heart after 3 years of dating. I almost died, I cried every night but thank God for Jesus because I was able to stand firm and believe that I will heal from the heartbreak, I thought I was going to fail my final year but God is so faithful . I am now working as a qualified teacher and I am enjoying my money in peace. I have so much that I would like to achieve, and I am in a healthy relationship with a supportive, loving and kind man.

    How does one ever really know that they married wrong In the beginning of the marriage? People change and grow up certain ideas and world views change as you grow, how do you make conscious decisions as an individual for what’s best for you without having to consider all the time your partner, women tend to sacrifice more than men and that’s when resentment builds up. BUT if you continuously want to live for someone or being influenced by someone else all your life from a young age then by all means marry young ladies.

    And yes, there's something to be said about marriages that are based on lust, convenience, and "what will people say".
    God needs to be at the centre especially in these times when marriages are collapsing left right and centre.
    Another thing is repenting, we need to repent to God for listening to our flesh and not living according to his ways.
    We often pierce ourselves with many sorrows when we ignore God's way.
