I am worried
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35 years old, with no husband and no children even though it has been my wish.
I am becoming worried about the situation because of societal pressure, but more importantly, I would love children of my own but not without being married, because I know the problems associated with single parenthood.
What should I do to attract a man to marry me!
Single woman, Accra
Dear Lady,
What else can you do than making yourself attractive, sociable, sharing your time and efforts to the cause of others to show care and concern for them?
You see, when you show love, you receive love. Make yourself attractive and you will attract.
Don’t sit at home and brood, go to church, attend prayer meetings, socialise with church members and for all you know there is someone also looking for someone like you.
You also have to pray to God to give you someone you can live happily with. It is not just getting a husband, but someone who is a husband in the real sense of word with respect and responsibility, care, concern and love for better or for worse.

Pastors take too much money from members
Dear Obaa Yaa,
A FRIEND invited me to his church a few weeks ago and I was embarrassed at the way the priest demanded money from the congregation.
Will God bless such offerings extracted from church goers?

Dear Etornam,
It is true that some churches demand money from their congregation. But it is also a fact that some of these churches uses these funds to build proper places of worship.
Utilities like water and electricity bills plus certain allowances or salaries of full –time workers in the church are also settled with this money.
Indeed if these money is put to proper use, it will enhance God’s work, and contributors would be blessed.
But if the money is misused, the people may think they are deceiving the congregation, but they cannot deceive God.

I can’t make a choice
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am a 40-year old banker and doing so well financially. I have a side business and I own two houses at Adenta. I have two girls in my life and I value each one for who they are. I want to settle down this year but I’m finding it difficult to make a choice.
One is financially stable, hardworking but disrespectful. The other is jobless, obedient and dull.
I love both of them and I am finding it difficult to choose. Should I marry one and keep one as a friend or I should leave them all.
They are all very beautiful. I am confused.
Kwansima,

Dear
I don’t believe that you are serious about marriage. I strongly believe you don’t love both of them, because you will never have a second thought when you love someone.
Also, I don’t believe that the girls are as daft as you want to portray.
For instance, what makes you think they are yours to pick and choose what roles they should play?
You are old enough to know what you want and what will be best for you. In as much as the ladies are pretty, each of them have different qualities you also want.
If I were you, I would propose and find out which of the girls would have you.
