Ayorinde pointed out that a man should spend at least five years with his prospective wife. He suggested that if she demonstrates qualities such as peace, support, faithfulness, and they have one or two children, only then should he consider legal marriage.

He further expressed skepticism, stating that 95% of women tend to put on a facade to secure marriage.
