Dear Obaa Yaa,
We became friends after a strange encounter at a gathering when a lady collapsed and we assisted in rushing her to the hospital.
The promptness with which he came to the aid of the lady moved me and from that time, we called often to find out how the other person was doing. Our conversations centred on general welfare issues, old school pranks and anything conceivable that was of interest.

With time, our conversations changed to more intimate matters and l was not surprised when he proposed love to me.

l was initially hesitant to give an outright response since l did not know much about him.
I tried getting a little background information about him since it was suicidal to move into a relationship with next to nothing knowledge about a life-partner, but that was not possible.

Unfortunately, those who were close to him did not know him through and through and this made me to be worried.

Should l go into this marriage?

Mary, Akim Oda.

Dear Mary,

It is necessary and appropriate to step into an unknown future with much trepidation because life is full of uncertainties, surprises and challenges.

Though the description of how the two of you met is quite moving, you ought to be careful since some appearances could be deceptive. People were able to hide certain characteristics and secrets from their partners but this eventually got to the public domain.

You can get information from his close friends, those he works with and in his locality.

The decision you have taken is good though, there are instances one is not able to get any information to guide one’s decision. In such a case one has to accept the proposal and trust God that things will be good.
