The preacher also recently spoke about the purpose of dating, stressing that it should not be about physical intimacy but about gathering information.

He warned that many people rush into relationships based on emotions, ignoring important factors like character and compatibility.

He advised young people to avoid letting attraction cloud their judgment when choosing a life partner. According to him, dating should be a time to assess whether two people share the same values and long-term goals before making a commitment.

Why marrying early can be good

Reacting to this in a discussion with YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai noted that tying the knot early is a good and advisable thing but added a caveat. He said:

"Yes, it is good for young men to settle down early, but I only advise young men to marry only if they have a source of income because every marriage has financial responsibilities."

"Your parents are not the ones getting married, so if they’re well-to-do, that’s not enough justification to settle. As a man, make sure you’re comfortable with your life before inviting another person into it. Don’t make decisions based on your parent's success."
