Ah, that was my plan when I was about 12 or 13 in Naija.  I was sure that by the age of 22, I would be married.  Of course, by the time I was 22, marriage was the last thing on my mind for several reasons:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>1.  I was 22.  I still had my life ahead of me biko.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2.  I was still in school = broke<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3.  There was no man worth marrying in my life.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>4.  I knew nothing about marriage.  In retrospect, I thought I did.  I thought I was mature enough then, but I have learnt so much between then and now.  Of course, I realize I will learn even more once I do become married.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>5.  Did I mention there was <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">NO MAN<\/span> as in <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">NO MAN<\/span><\/span> worth marrying in my life?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So anyway, now that I think of it, I guess I&#8217;m not so mad that I didn&#8217;t get married at age 22.  If I had gotten married, I mighta turned out to be an immature, unsupportive wife &#8211; no kidding &#8211; and not to mention, a liability and a burden to my husband.  Tufia kwa.  That is not my portion in Jesus&#8217; name.  Whatever the case might be, I am mad that at age 27, there is a significant decline in a woman&#8217;s fertility.  But no stress.
