Amakove Wala’s thoughts about marrying late
The energetic doctor spoke with YouTuber Jagero, expressing her belief that she would have preferred to wait until her 30s before getting married.
“I would advise my children to experience as many relationships as possible without rushing into marriage early. I believe I would have waited until my 30s to marry, appreciating the maturity that typically comes with age,” she shared.
Amakove also observed a decreasing societal pressure to marry, noting a trend where fewer young people are pursuing marriage.
“Many younger individuals are choosing not to marry, and this shift is something we’re witnessing. Whether it’s positive or negative remains to be seen, but if it suits them, I say go for it,” she remarked.
@R.O commented, “Encouraging many relationships isn’t good advice.”
@Yvonne Mwangi agreed, stating, “I agree.”
@Ammi shared, “I’m turning 28 soon, and I feel no rush to marry. I don’t think I’m mature enough.”
@HeartMatters opined, “Even at 30, marriage can be challenging. It takes understanding to appreciate its beauty.”
@Jakanyanyandi remarked, “These days, marriage isn’t always within your control, so saying ‘just get married’ isn’t realistic.”
