Relationships and Marriages should be started at the right time!

Remember how you started your relationship; do you think it was the right time? The enjoyment you anticipate in a relationship may not be if you do not start it well. Young children should wait for physical, social, spiritual and economic maturity before they venture into marriage.

Let me use this scenario to explain my point to you dear reader: in my primary school we were mixed both girls and boys. Some boys and girls were of big size than many of us who we short and tiny.

In class seven the last class at primary level in my country, I attended with a fairy big girl by the names of Teopista. The two of us came from same village and in primary seven (P.7) we joined the boarding section to have more time to read seriously so that we pass our finals well.

 On certain weekends, the school allowed us to go home to get personal effects. So Teopista would go home on Friday evenings and reported back to school on Sundays. Certain boys on the village started befriending her and offered simple gifts. With those gifts and money her class seemed to have risen higher than that of the other girls.

We sat for the final national examinations at the end of the year and then took our vacation. During that period Teopista had more time with the village boys. A lot went on. At the end of the vacation period, our results were released. I had passed in grade two (2), she had passed in grade four (4).
