I shared here once how it seemed we prefer to hear about bad marriages, bad husbands and wives than good ones.

Now I am also seeing that we will prefer to have an unhappy wife and a never staying home husband and when it gets to a bad stage we start running round looking for how to patch the marriage.

Marriage is hard work and sacrifice no one says its easy, we say there is no time yet married men are 80 percent of the customers sitting for hours gathering bad health on themselves.

If you don't want to make time to bond then don't marry.

Someone like Dangote after 3 ex wives has remained single.

I am tired of hearing sob stories, make sacrifices and work on your relationship. It is easier to build it now than to have to patch it later when they are so many cracks.

When we are dating we seem to find time to do these things but when we marry the excuses come flying.
Isn't it your companion you married?

debrief08: One sad thing I have noticed is that most times when we get married have a few kids fun and bonding ends for the Nigerian couple.

Social activities are restricted to attending Church, weddings and namings.

The wife is caught up in trying to balance a career and a home and the husband is stressed from work and helping out and spends most of his alone time watching TV or if he is outgoing with friends.

The wife also spends free time on her own shows and with friends. Their only time together is in the bedroom which slowly turns boring and routine.

I was there and hubby and I worked out some fun bonding activities that we do together sometimes with the kids:

1. Evening stroll: this helps us manage our weight, talk, catch up, play love, hold hands and just be friends. We do this on less stressful weekdays after an early dinner, walk down somewhere if we need to get something rather than drive.
We get home refreshed, smiling and take a bath sleep very well.

2. Picnics: doesn't cost much, sometimes we just take books, read and lie on each other in a park. Mostly lazy saturdays when Grandparents have the kids. We make lunch pick up some wine and go to a park, find a quite corner and spend the day. Sometimes we both take day offs during the week and then the parks are virtually empty. Its great.

3. Watch a movie: our favorite sport. We take turns in selecting the movies as our choices differ, I may not like his choice but I watch and vice versa, we make out in the cinema ( we sit up back) and we cheer shamelessly and loudly at the movie.

4. Play video games: His sport, I learned to play and we play even though he is a master

5. Salon: Once in a while he comes with me to the salon, makes fun of what we do, makes the other ladies laugh, gets pizza or snacks for everyone, I feel happy, he gets rewarded big time

6. Spa: sometimes we go get massages together especially after a stressful week.
Its fun and relaxing.

7. Mechanics: Believe it or not spending a day at the mecahincs can be fun. We take our meals and a drink, get some for the mechanics, we gist, eat, check out the work, go home shower and rest.

There are a lot more but as I remember I will post more.
Try out one of these this weekend if you don't already.
Stay in love.
Best wishes

beautiful one . . .Gym together as well, love to see madam infront of me at the gym on the thread mill tongue

Chillisauce: Is this for a typical Nigerian undecided.

Close from work by 6/7pm, traffic, gets home by 8,9,10pm.
Eat, sometimes take a shower and heads straight to bed to get up as early as 4,5 am for the next day work.

For self employed, that one is always on the road everyday.
Weekends, plenty wedding, child dedication etc. the free weekend they have is to sleep and get the stress reduced.

Even if you try walking down to the "park" Agberos everywhere grin
Small small boys go collect your small wrist watch sef cheesy.

The fun most ppl know is go drink pepper soup Tinz while shining their eyes for stray bullets and bottle breaking on ones head.

This is the average Nigerian.



You mean it is the average Nigerian you know.
Those who follow this pattern of your "average Nigerian" will end up being stressed unduly with costly health consequence, including death. Why spend your hard earned money on health issues from stress that you can avoid without too much cost
Did you read that the life span of Nigerians has dropped in the past years/decades?
Even if you live in rowdy areas of your town, you can take a bus/taxi ride away to somewhere more peaceful for your stroll or simply walk away from your house as a cost-less exercise.

I see that others have addressed the issue of weekend parties (and religious meetings- church, mosque & shrine) adequately.

PS: Most of these practices were done in Nigeria up to the mid-70s or so when we had a vibrant middle class that was not overly anxious about money.
That was before the negative socio-economic effects of decades of military rule started showing with the siphoning away of our commonwealth to foreign bank accounts by the khakhi boys.

No matter how busy they both are, 10 minutes walk at the set of the sun wont be a bad idea . . .They live longer and they are happy together, if too late, walking up and down the stairs if they live in a Condo or apartment is a great one too.
