Ladies, do you have pressure to get married from your family and peers? Would you succumb to this pressure?

We have several single phenomenal women who are single and doing well, Cynthia Nyamai, Catherine Kasavuli, Genevieve Nnaji, Anne Waiguru just to mention but a few.

These women are living proof that marriage is not everything. Well, Africa's top actress Rita Dominic is also among those single women who are yet to settle down despite the fact that age is catching up.

In an Interview with Schick Magazine, the 41-year-old revealed the reason why she is not married. She said that God is the only one who knows people's destiny.

"I believe that God is in charge of my life and will present the right man to me at the right time."

Rita Dominic who has 2.2M followers on Instagram has been under pressure from her fans to get married, was asked if this gets to her and she responded;

"I am a human being and I would be lying to say that it doesn’t sometimes. More so because it’s something I sincerely want to do but the feeling passes when I remember that society will not live with the person. I will live with the man, so it is very important that I do it because I want to, not because society wants it for me," she said.

When she was asked about her dating life, Rita revealed that it's a nightmare to "especially in this days of social media where with one click you are all over the internet.”"

The award-winning actress who prefers to keep away from the limelight admitted that she loves being in a relationship just like any other woman.

"I love being totally drawn to someone and doing all those loving things couples do, but I am also wary of liars and bullies."

According to 'research' sex gets better and sweeter with age and according to Rita Dominic, it depends on sexual partners and age has nothing to do with that.

"If you ordinarily don’t enjoy it, age won’t make a difference. I find that when a woman embraces her sexuality, many Nigerians equate it to being Ashawo (prostitution as if we should act like sex is not pleasurable," concluded Rita Dominic.
