A popular Kenyan life coach and counseling physiologist Benjamin Zulu has advised army men to prioritize marrying mature ladies or at least wait until they reach 27 before making up the mind to find their better halves.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Zulu notes that many army men drink heavily and have secret families as a result of getting married early.

He notes that marrying a 25-year-old girl is never a good idea as “These girls may look calm and even innocent when you marry them but that's only because she's yet to mature and her true nature is not yet formed.”

“If you're lucky she could turn out to be the harmless type and any personality differences that emerge are manageable. But too often she could also be the wild type and your goose is cooked. You'll be fighting on two fronts; home and away,” he added.

To avoid such a scenario, Zulu, who was specifically advising the army men who usually get deployed when aged 22-24 and start thinking about marriage not to rush into it.

He says it's better for a man to marry a woman whose true character can be seen – and not the 25-year-old one who is still developing in her character.

“The thing with women 25 and above is that her true character is visible and you can tell what you're dealing with. The other group is in transition phases and her true colors arrive later when you're already committed,” advised Benjamin Zulu who also appears on Citizen TVs weekly show hosted by the couple presenter Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdala.
