Can l suggest to my cousin to marry this lady?

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I know a pretty lady, who is respectful, has unblemished character who l have admired all these years.

I have an elderly cousin, though of age and has been working more than six years without a wife, all appeals to him to marry have not been heeded.   

Lately, he was summoned by the elders of the family on the same issue but he did not take the suggestion serious. 

Aware that this pretty lady is without a husband, l would like to give his contact number to you through your editor so that you can have a chat with him and tell him of my suggestion.

I would be glad if you could try to find out from him what is preventing him from getting married.

I do not care if you mention my name to him that l have given out his telephone number so that you can call him.  Of importance is the need to tell him about this lady who is dear to my heart.

You can suggest to him that he should heed the many calls from his family members and marry.

Kwame, Tema.

Dear Kwame,

You have demonstrated the love for your cousin and your desire that he should marry a lady who by your estimation is good and must, therefore, be married to your cousin.  

Though you have taken the right step, it is sometimes difficult to make suggestions in this regard, because it is rather better for the individual to make his own choice. Should there be any problem in the marriage, you are the first person to be blamed for making a wrong choice.

 On the contrary, if there is any fault with the person’s own selection, he will have himself to blame.

You can send his contact to me as you have suggested and l will try my best in this regard.
