Toke Makinwa Shares Views On Marriage Timing

Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has shared her thoughts on marriage, saying she does not believe women should marry in their 20s.

Speaking on her podcast, Toke Moment, alongside reality TV star Tacha, Makinwa said many women spend their 20s learning about themselves and may not yet be prepared for the commitment of marriage.

The marriage advice from Makinwa centred on personal growth and understanding oneself before making a lifelong decision. She argued that some women who marry at a young age may later feel they moved too quickly, even if they remain with their partners.

“Women have no business getting married in their 20s… You don’t even know yourself yet. Those who did are regretting it now. Even those who are still married if they are being honest, they will tell you that they shouldn’t have rushed it,” she said.

Makinwa explained that taking time to develop personal confidence and identity can help people make better choices about relationships and family life.

During the conversation, Tacha also shared her mother’s opinion about marriage, describing it as an experience that can look different depending on a person’s situation.

“My mum says marriage is like an institution. Those inside want to get out, those outside can’t wait to get in.” She said.

The discussion highlighted different perspectives on relationships, with both personalities reflecting on the expectations and realities surrounding modern marriage.

While Makinwa’s comments represent her personal opinion, they have sparked conversations about the right time for people to marry and the importance of personal readiness.
