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!

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.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35year –old-lady married to a banker. I am a housewife. I am fair in complexion. I got my left hand tattooed sometime last year. I have never had my peace with my husband because he strongly abhors.
In my attempt to get it erased, I have caused a big scar on my hand which has worsened the situation. Sometime ago, your esteemed paper carried a story about how permanent tattoo can be cleared and a location.
May I know whether it is possible to get the scar and tattoo erased, and how much it would cost.
Worried housewife, Prampram.
Dear housewife,
Since I have no idea how wide and deep the scar and tattoo are, it would be difficult for me to have a meaningful discussion with the specialists at the unit.
I suggest that the next time you visit Accra, you pay a visit to any skincare unit and ask what help they can offer.
But until then, do not apply any self-medication. You may also ask your doctor to advise you as if there is any way out for a surgery. All the best.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
Ever since we got married, two years ago, my husband seldom wears his wedding ring except on occasion such as church service, funerals, outdooring and other social gatherings.
For the rest of the week, he goes to work without it. The excuse he gives is that whether he wears the ring to work or not, he is by law married to me.
But I beg to differ. I suspect there is more to it than what he told me. I need your advice on this.
Eno, Ashiaman.
Dear Eno,
Some men don’t like wearing rings; others enjoy it. It is just like how some women like wearing jewellery or large earing while others would rather do away with them.
The fact, however, is that a man can misbehave even when he wears it or not because there are ladies who wouldn’t mind with the ring on.
When he gets back home, he would wear it again. What difference does it make if he doesn’t wear it all?
