Ghanaian highlife singer, Patapaa has advised the youth not to rush to marry because it has a negative effect.
According to him, rushing to jump into marriage as a youth will only result in death and nothing more. He made this disclosure on Kastle FM during an interview
“The little I can say is that as for me I think marriage is good. But when the time is not due you need to be patient. Because it’s a long but not a short journey that’s what’s said proverbially,” he stated.
Speaking further, he told Amansan Krakye that no youth should allow him or herself to be pressured to get married because marriage is a gradual process and if care is not taken, it can lead to an untimely death.
“So what I know is that when the time is due for you to marry as a man or woman that’s better than rushing yourself into marriage at the wrong time. If the love isn’t one between the couple then the marriage becomes different,” he added.
Patapaa, who is now successfully married to his German wife known as Mrs Liha Miller Amoah, took the opportunity to advise individuals to do background checks to be sure about the character of the person they want to be married to.
He continued “But if the love is one then you live together for the marriage to become successful. It is said that you don’t rashly make decisions.
Patapaa told the host that “So there is the need to do background checks to ensure that the person you want to marry whether they come from a good home and have a good upbringing.
