Popular media personality and writer, Solomon Buchi, has stirred reactions online with his recent statement advocating for the ban of dating and talking stages, citing that they are not biblical.
In a video shared on his social media page, Solomon Buchi strongly expressed his views, arguing that relationships in modern society have been overcomplicated, straying far from the biblical principles of courtship and marriage.
Backing up his claims with scriptural references, the media personality emphasized that men in the Bible were very direct and intentional when choosing a wife. He noted that there was no record of a "talking stage" in biblical times before marriage.
He stated: “Where in the Bible have you seen someone say, ‘I want to get to know your daughter. I want to get into a talking stage with her’? Men were very intentional. They moved with purpose, saying, ‘I want to marry you.’”
According to Solomon Buchi, one of the major issues affecting relationships today is the concept of dating, which has led to unnecessary complexities and unrealistic expectations between men and women. He stressed that returning to traditional, biblical principles of marriage would bring more clarity and stability to relationships.
His statement has sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some agreeing with his perspective while others have criticized his stance, arguing that modern relationships require compatibility tests before marriage.
