Singer Simisola Kosoko, a.k.a Simi, said there was nothing wrong with couples cohabiting before marriage, saying that it is an opportunity to get to know each other before saying ‘I DO.’
Simi, who was speaking in a podcast chat on Tea With Tay, said she and her husband Adekunle Gold were live-in-lovers before they got married.
“I am of the opinion that… Maybe I shouldn’t share this opinion because I feel like religious people might not agree with me,” she said.
I personally think that people who want to get married should live together for a little bit before they do that. Because I don’t think you really know someone that you’re going to marry until you cohabit.
“The way someone is when they are outside in their best behavior is different from how they are when they are cranky and they haven’t eaten or when they wake up in the morning or when they are snoring.
“When you live with someone you know all the sides to them, that is when you really know if you can do forever with them. Millions of people have gotten married without living together. But I personally think it’s a good idea to cohabit before marriage. It doesn’t have to be for long.”
