The proportion of marriageable men in Kenya is on the decline and this is also causing a decline in the number of women getting married. With more and more men becoming jobless and lacking prospects these days, many women now prefer to be single and successful than marry a man who isn’t marriageable.

There’s is a lot of mental and emotional preparation that goes with marriage. If you don’t get them right, you’re unlikely to get your marriage right. Therefore, it’s good to remember that as much as it’s important, and would be viewed as a big deal, it isn’t the greatest thing or achievement ever. So there’s no point rushing into marriage; take your time, evaluate your life, and make sure you’re ready to get into it.

Here were a few reactions.
