Your parents know best

You should listen to your mother. Prayer changes everything and it’s good to have someone as a mediator, and that would be a pastor. You should go see a pastor as your mother has advised and believe that everything will be fine. There is nothing impossible with God. Marceline Mukakarera

Play it safe

You aren’t getting married to your mother or relatives. You are getting married to a man you will spend the rest of your life with. Better to be safe than sorry because sorry is what you will be if you rush into something. Relax and don’t let their words get to you. Paul Wanyama

Time is not on your side

Your parents have a reason they are telling you all this. They have been there before. You’re 31 and still single, time will come when you will feel the urge to get married and because you are too old, you will just rush into it without dating and knowing someone. I am not saying get married now but get to know someone already. Fabrice Kone

Your time will come

You should settle down. At 31 years you’re not old. . Even women at 40 get married and get children so don’t feel pressured by other people’s early marriage. Everyone has their own timing. Faridah Mukabalisa

Don’t rush into marriage

Marriage is a very complex thing. No one should be forced into it. It’s a personal choice and someone would rather be single than be with someone who makes them feel empty. Women aren’t marriage tools; they should give them a break for crying out loud.  Stephanie Utuje
