IF YOUR MARRIAGE MUST WORK, BREAK THE SOUL-TIES WITH YOUR PARENTS 

Bisi Adewale 

“I plan to get married, but I will only get married to a man like my father. I love the way my father walks and treats us. I love his character and charisma; my father is an ideal man for me. If you are not like him, forget about marrying me.” That was 35 years old Linda talking to her counsellor, who demanded to know whether she was not interested in marriage.

 Linda is having a soul-tie with her dad, who she loves with a passion. According to her, her father is her “first boyfriend”, and a symbol of what a man should be. She cannot live or work outside Lagos because she cannot afford not seeing the old man in a day.

 Bob is the only son of his parents, and being the last child his closeness to his mother is deep. She is his counsellor, confidant, best friend and supporter. There is nothing he cannot tell his mother. At thirty-two, she still does his laundries. She gladly shops for his daily needs, wears, and undies and so on. He was in relationships three times; all broke up. The first two ladies had to go because his mother did not like them. The third one parted with him when she discovered that she would need to “marry” his mother with him.

 Soul-tie may be another hindrance to you getting married early. Nobody will marry you when you are already married to your parents or siblings.

Stop looking for someone that looks like your father or mother. No two people are the same. Don’t be a stumbling block to your future by comparing your partner with your parents. Set yourself free if you want to be truly joined with your husband or wife soon

IF YOU ARE “MARRIED” TO YOUR PARENTS, GET A DIVORCE.
