She further highlighted that getting married wasn't the ultimate goal, but marrying the right person was worth the wait.

"Dear married women, Enough! Marriage is not an achievement. Finding the right partner is.

"Give the singles space to make the biggest decisions of their lives and find GOOD partners in peace. Over 60% of couples claim happiness often because of societal expectations. That was how Ifeoma was pushed to marry nonsense. Every weekend na hospital appointment for black eye, and spiritual warfare against physical side chicks.

"Yet she is among those trolling single girls for the same marriage. Rest Biko . Focus on the Economy! And Let the singles BREATHE."

Kingsley Speaks, an online relationship coach and therapist, implied that successfully navigating the challenges and joys of married life is a noteworthy accomplishment.

In his words:

"Marriage was designed by God. And if it was designed by God, it is an achievement. It's just that people haven't really understood this from this reality.

"I understand what Mrs Mary is saying here. But then, the truth is that marriage was designed to be a plus to people. It was designed to help both parties enjoy their lives together because two people will do better than one. This is God's plan. But when this reality is not achieved, that marriage in particular where there's no peace is no longer an achievement.

"Also, it is true that singles should be allowed to take their time in making a choice of a partner. Married people should stop pressuring them into marriage. People sometime need time to make big decisions that could change the course of their lives. But then, we cannot pretend not to know that marriage is a beautiful thing when done right.
