Ghanaian hip-hop artist Tic Tac has shared some unconventional advice for couples considering marriage, urging them to date for a minimum of seven years before tying the knot. The musician, known for hits like Kwani Kwani, took to Twitter on May 1, 2024, to emphasize the importance of a long courtship before making the decision to get married.
Although Tic Tac did not provide a specific reason for his stance, he firmly believes that spending ample time dating allows partners to truly understand each other, learn each other’s values, and confirm what they want before committing to marriage. His tweet read: “Don’t marry a man or a woman you have not dated for more than 7 years. Thank me later.”
This advice has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some followers questioning the rationale behind such a suggestion. While some agree with Tic Tac’s sentiment, others argue that there is no set formula for a successful marriage, citing examples of couples who have found marital bliss after a shorter period of dating.
Ultimately, Tic Tac’s advice serves as a reminder that every relationship is unique, and what works for one couple may not work for another. Whether it’s dating for seven years or less, the key to a successful marriage lies in mutual understanding, respect, and communication.
