SHOULD I ACCEPT HIS PROPOSAL?

GEORGE ESSIEN ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION 149

My name is Itoro Effiong. I’m through with with my University education and I am presently working.The person who proposed marriage to me is doing his NYSC and just got a scholarship to go abroad for his Masters.He insists he wants to get married to me before going abroad. I love him, though.The issue is that this guy was actually sponsored by my parents through his University education. My parents know that we are close but don’t know of his intention to marry me before he goes for his Masters.

Please advice me on the kind of decision to make. I want to know the kind of decision to make in this case. Should I accept his proposal for marriage or allow him to go and come back?

ANSWER:

It is obvious that he loves you and wants to give you assurance that he is yours. It all depends on how much you love him. You may proceed with the marriage. At the same time, you may wish to tell him that you would wait for him. Afterall, the Masters program will not go beyond 1 or 2 years.

So pray about it. Which ever decision you make will end up being good, especially when you are sure he is the kind of man that you would want to settle with. All the best.
