Renowned Ghanaian preacher Archbishop Charles Agyinasare has shared a thought-provoking perspective on relationships, emphasising that dating should be a time for gathering information rather than just physical intimacy.

In a recent message, the respected clergyman cautioned against allowing emotions and physical attraction to cloud one’s judgment when choosing a life partner.

He explained in a video that many people rush into relationships based on feelings rather than taking the time to understand their partner’s character, values, and long-term compatibility.

"Dating is not for mating or coupling. It’s for gathering information because mating will cloud your judgment," Bishop Agyinasare stated.

He further advised that individuals should invest time in studying their partners before marriage, warning that failure to do so could lead to greater struggles after saying "I do."

"The truth is that if you don’t do more work on the person you want to marry, you’ll do more work after the marriage," he added.

Love is not about mating

Speaking exclusively in an interview, a relationship counsellor, Seyram Avortri, expressed his views on the matter. He shared the same view as the Archbishop.

"I agree with him. Dating is not about mating. Anyone who goes into a relationship should go with the mindset of settling. So anyone goes into a relationship with the mindset of just mating, there is a high possibility of the relationship collapsing," he said.
