"Instead, wait till late 20's when your personality as a woman has formed to a good extend. This way you will have a clear view of your path in life, and any man dating you will know what he is dealing with...
"By 28 you'll have gained enough wisdom to read men and analyse their character. 95% chances you will marry a different person than you would have married 5 years earlier.
"I'm not talking about the individual partner, but the type of person you will be looking for will have changed so much. Your awareness of yourself will have increased and with it a clear sense of the kind of partner you need. You'll also have built yourself up financially..."
For men, he said they should marry when they feel financially and mentally ready and pegged the marriage age at 27 to 35.

"I tnk God he saved me from early marriage around that kind 22_23 years ,hmmm I don't think I would have had the mind of my own, is good for a lady to be matured mentally, emotional financially before entering marriage .from 24years and above is a perfect age . By then u already know what u want and have a mind of ur own.i know age is just a number but it really have a lot to contribute in ones life."
Ephraim Alkali Laima said:
"You have a point but a blanket suggestion for marriage at 28 and above for all ladies is never feasible. The idea of building a career is good but some simply don't have the means to train themselves and marriage seem to be a great way to hang on. In all love, respect for each other no Matter the situation in the Lord will help us succeed."
