“I Think It’s Best To Live With Your Partner Before Marriage” – Simi
Singer Simi from Nigeria says she's in favor of cohabitation before marriage.
Simi adamantly maintains that living together before marriage is a necessary stage in creating a solid and long-lasting partnership.
She explained that living together will allow a potential couple to get to know each other better before deciding to get married.
Simi revealed in the most recent Tea With Tay podcast episode that she cohabitated with her husband, Adekunle Gold, prior to their marriage.
She said:
“I used to go over to Adekunle Gold's place for us to spend time together.
“I am of the opinion that… Maybe I shouldn't share this opinion because I feel like religious people might not agree with me. I personally think that people who want to get married should live together for a little bit before they do that. I don't think you really know someone that you're going to marry until you cohabit. The way someone is when they are outside in their best behavior is different from how they are when they are cranky and they haven't eaten, when they wake up in the morning, or when they are snoring.
