Why mental health evaluation is important before marriage- Yewande Adekoya

Nollywood actress Yewande Adekoya has spoken on the importance of personality tests and mental health evaluations before tying the knot.

While speaking in a video on her Instagram page, Yewande explained that while praying and fasting is important, couples need to prioritise mental health tests to ensure a good marriage.

”This message is for you if you’re about to get married. You have prayed, fasted, and done every test necessary to ensure that you have a good marriage. But there’s something inside of you telling you, ‘Are you sure you have done everything?’ When I was having my quiet time, He told me that it is important to do a personality test, psychological evaluation, and mental health evaluation for whoever you think you want to get married to. If you’re dating someone and insist that you guys go for the above, you’ll know what you’re dealing with. Is this person normal, meaning neurotypical? Does this person have bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, depression, psychosis, narcissism, and is this person mentally capable of making good decisions?,” she stated.

She advised her fans to embrace science and technology, stating that the message came to her from God.

“When you carry out this test, you get to know what kind of marriage you’ll have. If you meet your partner and tell him to carry out such tests, and he says no, please run. The person knows what you don’t know. God has told me to tell everyone that it is important we embrace science. If you are about to settle down, this message is for you,” she added.
