Please I would appreciate mature responses to these questions:

1. Did you or your Parents seek spiritual counsel from either a Prophet, Whali ( muslim prophets) or Babalawo before choosing your spouse?

2. Has any of the prophecies concerning your spouse or the marriage come true?

3. What would your advise be, in this regard, for singles who are about making the ultimate decision? 

Your sincere answers could be a life safer.

Can u ladies just address the questions? I am sure you have helpful opinions

Just pray,no need going to a prophet or a prophetess,
You have the 'word' in your lips,prophecy it and it will come to pass.

Consulting witches will doom your relationship. Just pray. Don't look to any human for the message. Go directly to the source.

I am actually surprised at everybody's comments, I use to think most people do it before getting married and that it is often the basis for parental refusal sometimes. The muslims go to the shehus or whali, christians to their Pastors/Prophetess while some seek counsel from their Babalawo.

no i didn't do it and don't intend on seeking it either

i know how to pray so as my wife

my advise to you is pray and God will show you the way like he did for me

God always answers. ALWAYS.
It's us that just don't pick it. It is why you should already have been training your soul to listen to God waay before you get to make that big decision.

Lately for me I find my responses come in dreams.

^ Dreams are expressions of our subconscious desires or innermost fears, I don't trust dreams.

@Post
Asking God without a middleman should work, and it takes more than prophecies (or some random predictions of a 419-in-white-robes) for a relationship to work.

^^ When hearing from God, it's all about confirmation and reconfirmation. Whether it be by dream, message or combination, all those who trully seek his Will will find it and KNOW when they do. Because they're Spirit will confirm it internally.

The only and indeed the best guidance we needed and got was from the mama and baba lawo's between our legs.

Dat thing no dey fail . . .Once it responds,points and leads you to the right one . . .na heaven you don enter.

Constant response to stimulus  . . .cures,heals and restores every other internal problem and external attacks,no witch or wizard can put asunder. 

God bless and keep our Baba/Mama Lawo.   

A good and faithful mama-baba lawo,good and united heads and decision to make it work is much more potent than 365 days dry fasting.

Human beings are such pathetic and utterly predictable creatures. Would this poster be asking these questions if the lady was the daughter of one of Nigeria's ex-presidents with hundreds of billions in her bank account? Even the babalow he intends to visit will tell to go ahead, the gods are behind him, its "his" destiny of marry into an elite family (and it doesnt matter if she's mannerless,a pervert,extremely obese and uglier than Iyabo Obasanjo). I'm pretty sure this lady in question is NOT from a "creme de la creme" family and perhaps she's lacking in other areas and this pathetic poster is looking 4 one excuse or the other to get rid of her. If all these "prophets" really see the future, why is there so much backwardness in the land? Why is that their "visions" mostly center around material wealth? Every day, it becomes clearer to me that over 93% of Nigerians are mentally unstable.

Be a man and make up your mind on your own. I already pity the woman

@ OP : there's nothing wrong in seeking guidance.

While I will not criticise those who seek such spiritual guidance, I'll never do such thing. @OP the truth of the matter is many of these spiritualists are FAKE, they have destroyed many promising relationships due to their fake prophecies. My advice to those in relationships is to pray for yourself and most importantly shine your eyes. If I have listened to these prophets of doom I wouldn't have been married to my wife today and honestly I do not want to imagine my life without her in my life. I was speaking to a friend of mine last week and she was lamenting that one of the reason why her marriage failed was becos she failed to confirm from her pastor whether her husband is the right person for her but I immediately reminded her how I warned her against marrying the man in question who usually physically abuse her during their courtship but she was blinded by the physical qualities of this man rather his whole person.

Follow ur intuition it will always lead u alrite.
As for woli n co consult Fela!

there is no perfect man or woman, so 'peeps!!' pray n beliv. i hv neva seen a case that my God cannot handle,
as 4 seeking babalawo's, it wldnt stop there. the devils gives one and takes millions, so be careful.

Guy, I refuse to join issues with u on the above post because it is apparent you are the one that is mentally unstable here, and not 93% of Nigerians. U made a lot of assumptions that show clearly that you were hallucinating. Where did I make any reference to a lady (rich or poor) in my post? Do u even know why I posted the questions ( which could easily pass for a research in the field of sociology or theology). U went off topic and succeeded in showing every one u ar just one of those people ( too know) who never take time to think or at least understand a piece of information before acting on them. Because I asked few questions, the purport of which u failed to fully appreciate, u jumped to the conclusion that 93% of Nigerians who have nothing to do with this post are mentally unstable, I wonder how many of your family members come within that percentage. You would have made more sense if you had just posted this " If all these "prophets" really see the future, why is there so much backwardness in the land? ", even that is some how lame.

Thanks everybody and particularly tunnytox, I quite appreciate your response and I am sure some "singles who are about to make the ultimate decision" will find it helpful.

I know of someone who had to make a decision between two men: and the pastor helped her to make her decision --- they may come in handy when you have more than one option.

aameyah:

An aunt of mine married a man after a FAKE PROPHET told her to go ahead. . .she regrets that decision til date. I think it's very important to shine your eyes! People show their true colours during courtship, one time or another.

The fact that your aunt isn't happy in her marriage doesn't necessarily mean the man was a FAKE PROPHET.

God can give you a prophecy but at the same time He would give you a guideline.
If you follow the guideline you will live. If you don’t follow the guideline, you will fail. 

The story of the Children of Israel that God brought out of bondage in Egypt is a good illustration that God’s promises don’t work when people live in disobedience. 

Nevertheless, I wouldn’t put too much emphasizes on prophecies when it come to choosing a mate. In fact, I wouldn’t advise anyone to run to a pastor. The person can pray and God can speak directly to him.
I have seen too many abuses (prophecies that aren’t in line with the word of God).
