Nollywood actress, Teniola Aladese, has said that it is important for women to live independently before getting married as opposed to leaving their parents’ house to their husband’s house.

Speaking in a recent episode of That’s What She Said vodcast, Aladese claimed that women are better prepared for marriage when they live independently before getting married.

The movie star stated that women being independent before getting married prevent some of the reality checks that lead to regrets in marriages.

“A lot of women just go from their family’s houses to their husband’s house. But they don’t particularly know what they like, they don’t know what kind of trait their husband-to-be has. So they are shocked when they enter into the home and they see some mannerisms that they haven’t experienced before.

“But I feel like when you live alone before getting married, you get to know yourself, you get to know what you like, you get to know the nonsense you would take and the nonsense you would not take.

“But when you just enter into marriage without any experience of living on your own, that is when everything start shocking you and regrets creep in,” she said.
