Answer 2

At the beginning of the story “Marriage is a Private Affair” the tension exists between the young couples, Nnaemeka and Nene when:

Nnaemeka doesn’t show Nene his father’s letter announcing that he’s found a wife for Nnaemeka.

When Nene asks Nnaemeka that when he'll tell his father about their relationship, Nnaemeka tells Nene about the objections that his father is most likely to put in their marriage. He didn't want to disclose his father's letter in which he wrote about the girl whom he had chosen for Nnaemeka to get married.
