1) HAVE/EXPRESS NO EXPECTATIONS
It is a mistake to come to a relationship without or not express your expectations just because you can’t wait to be married.
What are your expectations?
Marriage? Abstinence till marriage? Place of worship after marriage? Etc
Anything you don’t say, EARLY, you may find it difficult to say LATER.
2) CREATE NO BOUNDARIES
Don’t go into a relationship and head to marriage without stating what the boundaries are for you.
Define the relationship and its limits. How far is too far?
Don’t allow in a RELATIONSHIP what you know you can’t/won’t allow in MARRIAGE, let your partner know there are areas they shouldn’t go.
He’s beating you now? And you’re keeping quiet, abi?
3) CREATE FAKE IMPRESSIONS
You don’t like pepper in meals. You now say you like pepper because you want to marry Olabisi from Ondo State, Emeka, you go see pepper.
Fake impressions also involve fake buttocks and fake hips without letting the guy know. This is falsehood.
Fake impressions like telling lies about your true financial standings and family background just to impress each other
4) SAYING TOO MUCH, TOO EARLY
Relationships never even start. You’re telling him you have a small spiritual problem mixed with a medium financial problem.. Ha, Ngozi, your mumu is not too much?
You’ll need to be sure of a person’s conviction, commitment, and maturity before you tell them certain things about you.
5) SEX
It’s a mistake to involve sex in a relationship
It beclouds judgment, puts you at risk of being used and dumped, pregnancy, infections, a forced marriage, unplanned single parenthood, guilt, etc.
Be Wise.
Don’t make these mistakes in your relationship.
