Dear Yemisi,
I am 22 years old and in my final year in school. The problem is that I have a girlfriend who is also in the same class with me; but a year younger who wants marriage after schooling.
I am financially capable because I work and the pay is okay for a family; but I don’t want to get married early and I don’t want to  lose her.
Please, advise me.

Dear Anonymous,
I believe you are too young for marriage. Marriage is no-go-area for boys but mature men.
Thank God that you and your girlfriend are in the same class, but caution is the watchword.
I don’t know what you do for a living alongside your education, it is easier said that you are financially okay, what you meant by this, I don’t know. But I would counsel or suggest that you prevail on your partner to hold on. She should have told you why she wants marriage so early. The two of you are ill-prepared for the institution of marriage. What experience of life have you got?
Let her know that as long as she keeps being herself that you would remain faithful to her, but she needs to hold on.
And you must be faithful in all ramifications if she proved understandable and approved of your timing.
And don’t forget that your union needs the blessings of both families. She can’t just bump on you. But if she proves adamant, the choice is yours whether to have a broken relationship or marriage later on in life. Take time to plan ahead.
Goodluck.
