When is the right time to get married?
Many argue that a certain level of maturity is necessary to keep a healthy home and that maturity is not expected to be found in a teenager.
As much as there may be some truth in that assertion, a lot of women have gotten married at very young ages and have built really strong marriages and families.
Another is Amara Nwankwo wife of famous ex-footballer Kanu Nwankwo.
In a recent interview with Punch, Amara opens up on what it was like getting married at the age of 18.
FOR HER, GETTING MARRIED IS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
“I don’t think I would want to do it differently. I think getting married early is my competitive advantage. I learnt real life and management skills in marriage. Even though I’m currently studying for an MBA, it can’t beat the real life experiences. I won’t change anything because it all worked for me.”
THAT MARRIAGE THROWS YOU A LOT OF CURVES – NO MATTER YOUR AGE
“Marriage is a growth process and I learn on a daily basis. I got married as a teenager. I was young. I think I jumped into the deep end and I simply went with it. It takes a lot of determination to keep things going because irrespective of your age, marriage throws a lot of curves at you.The main thing is being able to bounce back after being hit with a surprise or what you do not expect.”
SHE WAS OBLIVIOUS OF WHAT SHE WAS GETTING INTO
“When I was getting married, I was not ready to be thrust into the limelight. I didn’t even know what I was getting into. I wasn’t a football fan and I knew nothing about the Premiership. I didn’t know I was getting married into that level of limelight as I was young, vibrant and in love. I am now a football fan.”
