A lady has generated huge online debate after recommending people not to marry the same person they’ve dated for years, claiming that long-term relationships frequently lack the passion and respect required for a happy marriage.

In a popular video circulating on social media, the woman stated unequivocally that she would not recommend marrying a long-term boyfriend or girlfriend when the time comes to settle down.

“When you’re ready to marry, I would not recommend the person you used to do relationship to be your wife, sincerely speaking, or to be your husband.”

According to the speaker, many couples grow overly familiar with one another throughout their dating years, losing the respect and excitement that could have improved their marriage.

She claimed that some partners go through too much together before marriage, including conflicts, disappointments, and unhealthy behaviours.

“No respect. She spoke to you in any manner. You spoke to her in any manner. You have seen yourself finish,” she said.

The woman further mentioned that some couples have already gone through practically every stage of life together before legally marrying.

“You’ve seen yourselves happy. You’ve seen yourselves sad. Some of you went physical on each other. You’ve done extreme things.”

After years of dating, the woman wondered what would still be novel.

“Finally, you now say, okay, so what is going to be that thing that is going to be exciting in the marriage?”
